Green Sipapu, NM
Candy drops 205 vertical feet over 1,574 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 18° about 500 feet below the top. That's steeper than 76% of the 3,109 green runs we've measured in North America, and the 37th steepest of 44 named runs at Sipapu. It faces northeast.
Facing northeast at an average 8°, Candy gets about 91% of the winter sun that flat ground at Sipapu does, December through March. That's sunnier than 61% of the runs we've measured, and the 7th sunniest named run at Sipapu. Its top sits at 9,100 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.
