Blue Red River, NM
Bobcat drops 193 vertical feet over 976 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 23° about 140 feet below the top. That's steeper than 59% of the 5,615 blue runs we've measured in North America, and the 39th steepest of 68 named runs at Red River. It faces east.
Facing east at an average 12°, Bobcat gets about 94% of the winter sun that flat ground at Red River does, December through March. That's sunnier than 65% of the runs we've measured, and the 18th sunniest named run at Red River. Its top sits at 10,120 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.
