Blue Telluride, CO
Lynx Loop, Rockslide drops 33 vertical feet over 572 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 7° about 10 feet below the top. That's steeper than 1% of the 5,615 blue runs we've measured in North America, and the 136th steepest of 137 named runs at Telluride. It faces northeast.
Facing northeast at an average 3°, Lynx Loop, Rockslide gets about 92% of the winter sun that flat ground at Telluride does, December through March. That's sunnier than 62% of the runs we've measured, and the 23rd sunniest named run at Telluride. Its top sits at 11,020 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.
