Blue Steamboat, CO
Moonlight drops 489 vertical feet over 2,243 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 20° about 860 feet below the top. That's steeper than 41% of the 5,615 blue runs we've measured in North America, and the 130th steepest of 195 named runs at Steamboat. It faces south.
Facing south at an average 13°, Moonlight gets about 125% of the winter sun that flat ground at Steamboat does, December through March. That's sunnier than 90% of the runs we've measured, and the 17th sunniest named run at Steamboat. Its top sits at 9,050 feet.
Angled toward the low winter sun, it bakes: powder turns heavy soon after a storm, and in spring it softens early in the day and refreezes hard overnight. Shading from ridges and trees isn't counted yet.
