Green Taos, NM
Free Tacos drops 121 vertical feet over 1,223 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 14° about 10 feet below the top. That's steeper than 48% of the 3,109 green runs we've measured in North America, and the 110th steepest of 115 named runs at Taos. It faces north.
Facing north at an average 6°, Free Tacos gets about 74% of the winter sun that flat ground at Taos does, December through March. That's shadier than 65% of the runs we've measured, and the 62nd shadiest named run at Taos. Its top sits at 9,580 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.
