Green Sunlight Mountain, CO
Buckmaster drops 80 vertical feet over 552 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 17° about 520 feet below the top. That's steeper than 69% of the 3,109 green runs we've measured in North America, and the 61st steepest of 69 named runs at Sunlight Mountain. It faces north.
Facing north at an average 8°, Buckmaster gets about 53% of the winter sun that flat ground at Sunlight Mountain does, December through March. That's shadier than 91% of the runs we've measured, and the 17th shadiest named run at Sunlight Mountain. Its top sits at 8,550 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.
