Blue Sunlight Mountain, CO
White River drops 690 vertical feet over 3,045 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 24° about 2,840 feet below the top. That's steeper than 70% of the 5,615 blue runs we've measured in North America, and the 49th steepest of 69 named runs at Sunlight Mountain. It faces northeast.
Facing northeast at an average 13°, White River gets about 73% of the winter sun that flat ground at Sunlight Mountain does, December through March. That's shadier than 66% of the runs we've measured, and the 45th shadiest named run at Sunlight Mountain. Its top sits at 9,110 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.
