Green Sunday River, ME
Ridge Run drops 487 vertical feet over 6,143 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 20° about 4,270 feet below the top. That's steeper than 88% of the 3,109 green runs we've measured in North America, and the 67th steepest of 126 named runs at Sunday River. It faces east.
Facing east at an average 5°, Ridge Run gets about 103% of the winter sun that flat ground at Sunday River does, December through March. That's sunnier than 74% of the runs we've measured, and the 9th sunniest named run at Sunday River. Its top sits at 1,500 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.
