Pioneer drops 154 vertical feet over 1,553 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 13° about 30 feet below the top. That's steeper than 42% of the 3,109 green runs we've measured in North America, and the 112th steepest of 115 named runs at Taos. It faces northwest.
Facing northwest at an average 6°, Pioneer gets about 87% of the winter sun that flat ground at Taos does, December through March. That's sunnier than 56% of the runs we've measured, and the 18th sunniest named run at Taos. Its top sits at 9,590 feet.
It gets an ordinary dose of sun: powder lasts a typical amount of time, and spring snow softens on a normal schedule. Shading from ridges and trees isn't counted yet.
