Green Snowy Range, WY
Upper Drifter drops 319 vertical feet over 3,645 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 10° about 2,650 feet below the top. That's steeper than 23% of the 3,109 green runs we've measured in North America, and the 32nd steepest of 34 named runs at Snowy Range. It faces northeast.
Facing northeast at an average 5°, Upper Drifter gets about 91% of the winter sun that flat ground at Snowy Range does, December through March. That's sunnier than 61% of the runs we've measured, and the 13th sunniest named run at Snowy Range. Its top sits at 9,640 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.
