Green Sundance, UT
Beginner Area drops 97 vertical feet over 833 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 8° about 400 feet below the top. That's steeper than 12% of the 3,109 green runs we've measured in North America, and the 66th steepest of 66 named runs at Sundance. It faces northeast.
Facing northeast at an average 7°, Beginner Area gets about 93% of the winter sun that flat ground at Sundance does, December through March. That's sunnier than 63% of the runs we've measured, and the 23rd sunniest named run at Sundance. Its top sits at 6,200 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.
