Green Stowe, VT
Inspiration drops 124 vertical feet over 1,272 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 7° about 700 feet below the top. That's steeper than 7% of the 3,109 green runs we've measured in North America, and the 121st steepest of 121 named runs at Stowe. It faces west.
Facing west at an average 6°, Inspiration gets about 103% of the winter sun that flat ground at Stowe does, December through March. That's sunnier than 74% of the runs we've measured, and the 59th sunniest named run at Stowe. Its top sits at 1,680 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.
