Green Smugglers Notch, VT
Meadowlark drops 476 vertical feet over 6,355 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 22° about 5,160 feet below the top. That's steeper than 92% of the 3,109 green runs we've measured in North America, and the 55th steepest of 79 named runs at Smugglers Notch. It faces west.
Facing west at an average 5°, Meadowlark gets about 99% of the winter sun that flat ground at Smugglers Notch does, December through March. That's sunnier than 70% of the runs we've measured, and the 3rd sunniest named run at Smugglers Notch. Its top sits at 1,640 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.
