Unrated Taos, NM
Cabin Trees drops 309 vertical feet over 518 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 41° about 80 feet below the top. That's steeper than 98% of the 511 unrated runs we've measured in North America, and the 25th steepest of 115 named runs at Taos. It faces east.
Facing east at an average 37°, Cabin Trees gets about 95% of the winter sun that flat ground at Taos does, December through March. That's sunnier than 66% of the runs we've measured, and the 10th sunniest named run at Taos. Its top sits at 11,810 feet.
With little slope to hide behind, it takes nearly the full winter sun of open ground: powder settles and turns heavy sooner after a storm, and spring snow softens early. Shading from ridges and trees isn't counted yet.
