Green Taos, NM
Winkelried drops 405 vertical feet over 2,344 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 21° about 1,630 feet below the top. That's steeper than 90% of the 3,109 green runs we've measured in North America, and the 99th steepest of 115 named runs at Taos. It faces east.
Facing east at an average 10°, Winkelried gets about 101% of the winter sun that flat ground at Taos does, December through March. That's sunnier than 72% of the runs we've measured, and the 4th sunniest named run at Taos. Its top sits at 10,610 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.
