Major Fun drops 561 vertical feet over 2,670 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 26° about 1,390 feet below the top. That's steeper than 83% of the 5,615 blue runs we've measured in North America, and the 47th steepest of 90 named runs at Purgatory. It faces north.
Facing north at an average 12°, Major Fun gets about 73% of the winter sun that flat ground at Purgatory does, December through March. That's shadier than 66% of the runs we've measured, and the 32nd shadiest named run at Purgatory. Its top sits at 10,600 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.
