Green Pajarito Mountain, NM
Lone Spruce drops 823 vertical feet over 2,678 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 23° about 1,500 feet below the top. That's steeper than 95% of the 3,109 green runs we've measured in North America, and the 32nd steepest of 42 named runs at Pajarito Mountain. It faces north.
Facing north at an average 18°, Lone Spruce gets about 64% of the winter sun that flat ground at Pajarito Mountain does, December through March. That's shadier than 80% of the runs we've measured, and the 9th shadiest named run at Pajarito Mountain. Its top sits at 10,150 feet.
Shaded snow stays colder and drier, so it holds powder longer after a storm and is slower to crust over or turn to slush in spring. Shading from ridges and trees isn't counted yet.
