Alpineway drops 356 vertical feet over 3,515 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 9° about 3,420 feet below the top. That's steeper than 15% of the 3,109 green runs we've measured in North America, and the 67th steepest of 69 named runs at Silver Mountain. It faces east.

How well Alpineway holds snow

Snow preservationBelow average

Facing east at an average 6°, Alpineway gets about 97% of the winter sun that flat ground at Silver Mountain does, December through March. That's sunnier than 69% of the runs we've measured, and the 13th sunniest named run at Silver Mountain. Its top sits at 5,670 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.
