Green Red River, NM
La Belle drops 37 vertical feet over 252 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 11° about 120 feet below the top. That's steeper than 28% of the 3,109 green runs we've measured in North America, and the 62nd steepest of 68 named runs at Red River. It faces east.
Facing east at an average 8°, La Belle gets about 107% of the winter sun that flat ground at Red River does, December through March. That's sunnier than 78% of the runs we've measured, and the 12th sunniest named run at Red River. Its top sits at 10,180 feet.
Angled toward the low winter sun, it bakes: powder turns heavy soon after a storm, and in spring it softens early in the day and refreezes hard overnight. Shading from ridges and trees isn't counted yet.
