Blue Snowy Range, WY
Opal drops 155 vertical feet over 847 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 17° about 820 feet below the top. That's steeper than 23% of the 5,615 blue runs we've measured in North America, and the 19th steepest of 34 named runs at Snowy Range. It faces northeast.
Facing northeast at an average 11°, Opal gets about 79% of the winter sun that flat ground at Snowy Range does, December through March. That's shadier than 56% of the runs we've measured, and the 10th shadiest named run at Snowy Range. Its top sits at 9,620 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.
