GLM drops 59 vertical feet over 600 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 7° about 250 feet below the top. That's steeper than 9% of the 3,109 green runs we've measured in North America, and the 58th steepest of 58 named runs at Pico Mountain. It faces northeast.

How well GLM holds snow

Snow preservationBelow average

Facing northeast at an average 6°, GLM gets about 93% of the winter sun that flat ground at Pico Mountain does, December through March. That's sunnier than 63% of the runs we've measured, and the 5th 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.
