Monkey drops 40 vertical feet over 259 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 11° about 70 feet below the top. That's steeper than 28% of the 3,109 green runs we've measured in North America, and the 40th steepest of 41 named runs at Soldier Mountain. It faces east.

How well Monkey holds snow

Snow preservationBelow average

Facing east at an average 9°, Monkey gets about 94% of the winter sun that flat ground at Soldier Mountain does, December through March. That's sunnier than 66% of the runs we've measured, and the 17th sunniest named run at Soldier Mountain. Its top sits at 5,830 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.
