Blue Mt Rose, NV
Sunrise Bowl drops 442 vertical feet over 1,377 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 25° about 1,060 feet below the top. That's steeper than 76% of the 5,615 blue runs we've measured in North America, and the 37th steepest of 65 named runs at Mt Rose. It faces southeast.
Facing southeast at an average 19°, Sunrise Bowl gets about 121% of the winter sun that flat ground at Mt Rose does, December through March. That's sunnier than 87% of the runs we've measured, and the sunniest named run at Mt Rose. Its top sits at 8,880 feet.
Angled toward the low winter sun, it bakes: powder turns heavy soon after a storm, and in spring it softens early in the day and refreezes hard overnight. Shading from ridges and trees isn't counted yet.
