Spur drops 89 vertical feet over 1,034 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 6° about 730 feet below the top. That's steeper than 6% of the 3,109 green runs we've measured in North America, and the 33rd steepest of 33 named runs at Pomerelle. It faces northeast.

How well Spur holds snow

Snow preservationBelow average

Facing northeast at an average 5°, Spur gets about 91% of the winter sun that flat ground at Pomerelle does, December through March. That's sunnier than 62% of the runs we've measured, and the 8th sunniest named run at Pomerelle. Its top sits at 8,060 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.
