Blue Okemo, VT
Sidewinder drops 698 vertical feet over 3,234 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 26° about 1,090 feet below the top. That's steeper than 82% of the 5,615 blue runs we've measured in North America, and the 14th steepest of 124 named runs at Okemo. It faces east.
Facing east at an average 13°, Sidewinder gets about 97% of the winter sun that flat ground at Okemo does, December through March. That's sunnier than 68% of the runs we've measured, and the 75th sunniest named run at Okemo. Its top sits at 2,350 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.
