Green Sunday River, ME
Cowardly Lion drops 188 vertical feet over 1,100 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 20° about 930 feet below the top. That's steeper than 86% of the 3,109 green runs we've measured in North America, and the 72nd steepest of 126 named runs at Sunday River. It faces east.
Facing east at an average 10°, Cowardly Lion gets about 91% of the winter sun that flat ground at Sunday River does, December through March. That's sunnier than 61% of the runs we've measured, and the 25th sunniest named run at Sunday River. Its top sits at 3,130 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.
