Green Pico Mountain, VT
Bonanza 1 drops 69 vertical feet over 550 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 11° about 100 feet below the top. That's steeper than 27% of the 3,109 green runs we've measured in North America, and the 54th steepest of 58 named runs at Pico Mountain. It faces east.
Facing east at an average 7°, Bonanza 1 gets about 93% of the winter sun that flat ground at Pico Mountain does, December through March. That's sunnier than 64% of the runs we've measured, and the 4th sunniest named run at Pico Mountain. Its top sits at 2,070 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.
