Blue Sunlight Mountain, CO
Blue Tango drops 363 vertical feet over 1,048 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 28° about 680 feet below the top. That's steeper than 90% of the 5,615 blue runs we've measured in North America, and the 35th steepest of 69 named runs at Sunlight Mountain. It faces northeast.
Facing northeast at an average 20°, Blue Tango gets about 60% of the winter sun that flat ground at Sunlight Mountain does, December through March. That's shadier than 84% of the runs we've measured, and the 27th shadiest named run at Sunlight Mountain. Its top sits at 9,140 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.
