Green Sugarbush, VT
Gondolier drops 243 vertical feet over 1,861 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 19° about 100 feet below the top. That's steeper than 82% of the 3,109 green runs we've measured in North America, and the 90th steepest of 120 named runs at Sugarbush. It faces northeast.
Facing northeast at an average 8°, Gondolier gets about 92% of the winter sun that flat ground at Sugarbush does, December through March. That's sunnier than 63% of the runs we've measured, and the 49th sunniest named run at Sugarbush. Its top sits at 1,880 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.
