Green Purgatory, CO
Hermosa Parkway drops 490 vertical feet over 4,258 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 15° about 980 feet below the top. That's steeper than 54% of the 3,109 green runs we've measured in North America, and the 87th steepest of 90 named runs at Purgatory. It faces north.
Facing north at an average 7°, Hermosa Parkway gets about 71% of the winter sun that flat ground at Purgatory does, December through March. That's shadier than 70% of the runs we've measured, and the 24th shadiest named run at Purgatory. Its top sits at 9,840 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.
