Blue Sugarbush, VT
Lower Rim Run drops 740 vertical feet over 3,751 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 19° about 2,750 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 120 named runs at Sugarbush. It faces east.
Facing east at an average 11°, Lower Rim Run gets about 94% of the winter sun that flat ground at Sugarbush does, December through March. That's sunnier than 65% of the runs we've measured, and the 47th sunniest named run at Sugarbush. Its top sits at 3,760 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.
