Blue Steamboat, CO
Heavenly Daze drops 1,094 vertical feet over 4,394 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 23° about 1,290 feet below the top. That's steeper than 66% of the 5,615 blue runs we've measured in North America, and the 101st steepest of 195 named runs at Steamboat. It faces west.
Facing west at an average 15°, Heavenly Daze gets about 92% of the winter sun that flat ground at Steamboat does, December through March. That's sunnier than 63% of the runs we've measured, and the 93rd sunniest named run at Steamboat. Its top sits at 9,060 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.
