Sugarloaf drops 274 vertical feet over 3,055 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 16° about 20 feet below the top. That's steeper than 66% of the 3,109 green runs we've measured in North America, and the 59th steepest of 70 named runs at Tamarack. It faces southeast.

How well Sugarloaf holds snow

Snow preservationPoor

Facing southeast at an average 5°, Sugarloaf gets about 111% of the winter sun that flat ground at Tamarack does, December through March. That's sunnier than 81% of the runs we've measured, and the 24th sunniest named run at Tamarack. Its top sits at 5,210 feet.

Angled toward the low winter sun, it bakes: powder turns heavy soon after a storm, and in spring it softens early in the day and refreezes hard overnight. Shading from ridges and trees isn't counted yet.
