Green Stowe, VT
Jake's Ride drops 511 vertical feet over 3,006 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 18° about 1,080 feet below the top. That's steeper than 76% of the 3,109 green runs we've measured in North America, and the 97th steepest of 121 named runs at Stowe. It faces east.
Facing east at an average 10°, Jake's Ride gets about 91% of the winter sun that flat ground at Stowe does, December through March. That's sunnier than 61% of the runs we've measured, and the 75th sunniest named run at Stowe. Its top sits at 2,530 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.
