Blue Sugarbush, VT
Brambles drops 830 vertical feet over 3,284 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 26° about 1,010 feet below the top. That's steeper than 82% of the 5,615 blue runs we've measured in North America, and the 44th steepest of 120 named runs at Sugarbush. It faces east.
Facing east at an average 15°, Brambles gets about 95% of the winter sun that flat ground at Sugarbush does, December through March. That's sunnier than 66% of the runs we've measured, and the 43rd sunniest named run at Sugarbush. Its top sits at 2,680 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.
