Green Mt Rose, NV
Spellbound drops 131 vertical feet over 1,581 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 8° about 580 feet below the top. That's steeper than 12% of the 3,109 green runs we've measured in North America, and the 61st steepest of 65 named runs at Mt Rose. It faces east.
Facing east at an average 5°, Spellbound gets about 100% of the winter sun that flat ground at Mt Rose does, December through March. That's sunnier than 72% of the runs we've measured, and the 9th sunniest named run at Mt Rose. Its top sits at 8,370 feet.
With little slope to hide behind, it takes nearly the full winter sun of open ground: powder settles and turns heavy sooner after a storm, and spring snow softens early. Shading from ridges and trees isn't counted yet.
