Blue Sunlight Mountain, CO
Little Max drops 263 vertical feet over 906 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 24° about 310 feet below the top. That's steeper than 67% of the 5,615 blue runs we've measured in North America, and the 50th steepest of 69 named runs at Sunlight Mountain. It faces north.
Facing north at an average 17°, Little Max gets about 59% of the winter sun that flat ground at Sunlight Mountain does, December through March. That's shadier than 85% of the runs we've measured, and the 25th shadiest named run at Sunlight Mountain. Its top sits at 9,790 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.
