Blue Powderhorn, CO
Upper Dude drops 257 vertical feet over 1,464 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 17° about 470 feet below the top. That's steeper than 20% of the 5,615 blue runs we've measured in North America, and the 39th steepest of 48 named runs at Powderhorn. It faces northwest.
Facing northwest at an average 10°, Upper Dude gets about 84% of the winter sun that flat ground at Powderhorn does, December through March. That's sunnier than 51% of the runs we've measured, and the 5th sunniest named run at Powderhorn. Its top sits at 9,050 feet.
It gets an ordinary dose of sun: powder lasts a typical amount of time, and spring snow softens on a normal schedule. Shading from ridges and trees isn't counted yet.
