Green Ski Mystic Deer Mountain, SD
FLW Highway drops 33 vertical feet over 1,100 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 11° about 1,080 feet below the top. That's steeper than 28% of the 3,109 green runs we've measured in North America, and the 47th steepest of 52 named runs at Ski Mystic Deer Mountain. It faces south.
Facing south at an average 3°, FLW Highway gets about 139% of the winter sun that flat ground at Ski Mystic Deer Mountain does, December through March. That's sunnier than 96% of the runs we've measured, and the 2nd sunniest named run at Ski Mystic Deer Mountain. Its top sits at 6,320 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.
