Blue Snowmass, CO
West Fork drops 645 vertical feet over 3,792 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 21° about 2,520 feet below the top. That's steeper than 51% of the 5,615 blue runs we've measured in North America, and the 97th steepest of 126 named runs at Snowmass. It faces northeast.
Facing northeast at an average 10°, West Fork gets about 84% of the winter sun that flat ground at Snowmass does, December through March. That's sunnier than 51% of the runs we've measured, and the 16th sunniest named run at Snowmass. Its top sits at 9,180 feet.
It gets an ordinary dose of sun: powder lasts a typical amount of time, and spring snow softens on a normal schedule. Shading from ridges and trees isn't counted yet.
