Green Ski Mystic Deer Mountain, SD
Sunset Bowl drops 107 vertical feet over 953 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 11° about 360 feet below the top. That's steeper than 27% of the 3,109 green runs we've measured in North America, and the 48th steepest of 52 named runs at Ski Mystic Deer Mountain. It faces southwest.
Facing southwest at an average 7°, Sunset Bowl gets about 129% of the winter sun that flat ground at Ski Mystic Deer Mountain does, December through March. That's sunnier than 92% of the runs we've measured, and the 4th sunniest named run at Ski Mystic Deer Mountain. Its top sits at 6,300 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.
