Lower Winter's Way drops 465 vertical feet over 2,409 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 14° about 520 feet below the top. That's steeper than 50% of the 3,109 green runs we've measured in North America, and the 133rd steepest of 148 named runs at Sugarloaf. It faces northeast.
Facing northeast at an average 11°, Lower Winter's Way gets about 72% of the winter sun that flat ground at Sugarloaf does, December through March. That's shadier than 69% of the runs we've measured, and the 97th shadiest named run at Sugarloaf. Its top sits at 2,340 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.
