Green Showdown, MT
Brown Eyed Queen drops 293 vertical feet over 1,826 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 17° about 1,380 feet below the top. That's steeper than 71% of the 3,109 green runs we've measured in North America, and the 29th steepest of 34 named runs at Showdown. It faces east.
Facing east at an average 9°, Brown Eyed Queen gets about 95% of the winter sun that flat ground at Showdown does, December through March. That's sunnier than 66% of the runs we've measured, and the 27th sunniest named run at Showdown. Its top sits at 8,190 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.
