Green Vail, CO
Flap Jack drops 1,442 vertical feet over 8,897 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 20° about 3,390 feet below the top. That's steeper than 88% of the 3,109 green runs we've measured in North America, and the 159th steepest of 194 named runs at Vail. It faces northwest.
Facing northwest at an average 9°, Flap Jack gets about 91% of the winter sun that flat ground at Vail does, December through March. That's sunnier than 62% of the runs we've measured, and the 67th sunniest named run at Vail. Its top sits at 11,150 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.
