Green Sugarbush, VT
Sugar Run drops 451 vertical feet over 2,216 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 17° about 1,480 feet below the top. That's steeper than 70% of the 3,109 green runs we've measured in North America, and the 100th steepest of 120 named runs at Sugarbush. It faces northeast.
Facing northeast at an average 12°, Sugar Run gets about 75% of the winter sun that flat ground at Sugarbush does, December through March. That's shadier than 63% of the runs we've measured, and the 65th shadiest named run at Sugarbush. Its top sits at 1,960 feet.
Shaded snow stays colder and drier, so it holds powder longer after a storm and is slower to crust over or turn to slush in spring. Shading from ridges and trees isn't counted yet.
