Green Steamboat, CO
Sundial drops 502 vertical feet over 2,927 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 18° about 1,590 feet below the top. That's steeper than 76% of the 3,109 green runs we've measured in North America, and the 155th steepest of 195 named runs at Steamboat. It faces southeast.
Facing southeast at an average 10°, Sundial gets about 117% of the winter sun that flat ground at Steamboat does, December through March. That's sunnier than 85% of the runs we've measured, and the 31st sunniest named run at Steamboat. Its top sits at 10,380 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.
