Green Telluride, CO
Little Maude drops 149 vertical feet over 1,778 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 16° about 1,200 feet below the top. That's steeper than 60% of the 3,109 green runs we've measured in North America, and the 125th steepest of 137 named runs at Telluride. It faces east.
Facing east at an average 5°, Little Maude gets about 96% of the winter sun that flat ground at Telluride does, December through March. That's sunnier than 67% of the runs we've measured, and the 15th sunniest named run at Telluride. Its top sits at 11,140 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.
