Blue Stratton, VT
Sun Bowl Express drops 84 vertical feet over 1,152 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 10° about 10 feet below the top. That's steeper than 3% of the 5,615 blue runs we've measured in North America, and the 109th steepest of 112 named runs at Stratton. It faces east.
Facing east at an average 4°, Sun Bowl Express gets about 95% of the winter sun that flat ground at Stratton does, December through March. That's sunnier than 67% of the runs we've measured, and the 20th sunniest named run at Stratton. Its top sits at 3,170 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.
