Blue Pico Mountain, VT
Ace of Clubs drops 366 vertical feet over 1,837 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 19° about 240 feet below the top. That's steeper than 35% of the 5,615 blue runs we've measured in North America, and the 26th steepest of 58 named runs at Pico Mountain. It faces northeast.
Facing northeast at an average 12°, Ace of Clubs gets about 76% of the winter sun that flat ground at Pico Mountain does, December through March. That's shadier than 61% of the runs we've measured, and the 38th shadiest named run at Pico Mountain. Its top sits at 2,380 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.
