Fred's Run Ramp drops 125 vertical feet over 656 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 14° about 580 feet below the top. That's steeper than 44% of the 3,109 green runs we've measured in North America, and the 49th steepest of 59 named runs at Sandia Peak. It faces east.
Facing east at an average 11°, Fred's Run Ramp gets about 106% of the winter sun that flat ground at Sandia Peak does, December through March. That's sunnier than 77% of the runs we've measured, and the sunniest named run at Sandia Peak. Its top sits at 9,860 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.
