Green Ski Granby, CO
Buckhorn drops 832 vertical feet over 6,489 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 14° about 6,060 feet below the top. That's steeper than 50% of the 3,109 green runs we've measured in North America, and the 30th steepest of 42 named runs at Ski Granby. It faces west.
Facing west at an average 7°, Buckhorn gets about 96% of the winter sun that flat ground at Ski Granby does, December through March. That's sunnier than 67% of the runs we've measured, and the 6th sunniest named run at Ski Granby. Its top sits at 9,170 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.
