Blue Stowe, VT
Lower Rimrock drops 174 vertical feet over 1,830 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 13° about 1,800 feet below the top. That's steeper than 7% of the 5,615 blue runs we've measured in North America, and the 117th steepest of 121 named runs at Stowe. It faces east.
Facing east at an average 6°, Lower Rimrock gets about 107% of the winter sun that flat ground at Stowe does, December through March. That's sunnier than 77% of the runs we've measured, and the 53rd sunniest named run at Stowe. Its top sits at 2,950 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.
