Green Red River, NM
Moon Star drops 167 vertical feet over 2,000 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 10° about 1,840 feet below the top. That's steeper than 20% of the 3,109 green runs we've measured in North America, and the 65th steepest of 68 named runs at Red River. It faces east.
Facing east at an average 5°, Moon Star gets about 103% of the winter sun that flat ground at Red River does, December through March. That's sunnier than 75% of the runs we've measured, and the 14th sunniest named run at Red River. Its top sits at 10,160 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.
