Blue Stowe, VT
Sunrise drops 653 vertical feet over 2,684 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 19° about 660 feet below the top. That's steeper than 33% of the 5,615 blue runs we've measured in North America, and the 87th steepest of 121 named runs at Stowe. It faces east.
Facing east at an average 14°, Sunrise gets about 105% of the winter sun that flat ground at Stowe does, December through March. That's sunnier than 76% of the runs we've measured, and the 57th sunniest named run at Stowe. Its top sits at 3,150 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.
