Green Steamboat, CO
Sitzback drops 49 vertical feet over 490 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 13° about 220 feet below the top. That's steeper than 38% of the 3,109 green runs we've measured in North America, and the 182nd steepest of 195 named runs at Steamboat. It faces east.
Facing east at an average 6°, Sitzback gets about 98% of the winter sun that flat ground at Steamboat does, December through March. That's sunnier than 69% of the runs we've measured, and the 72nd sunniest named run at Steamboat. Its top sits at 8,010 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.
