Blue Vail, CO
Red Zinger drops 1,054 vertical feet over 4,271 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 26° about 2,660 feet below the top. That's steeper than 83% of the 5,615 blue runs we've measured in North America, and the 106th steepest of 194 named runs at Vail. It faces southwest.
Facing southwest at an average 14°, Red Zinger gets about 123% of the winter sun that flat ground at Vail does, December through March. That's sunnier than 89% of the runs we've measured, and the 31st sunniest named run at Vail. Its top sits at 11,230 feet.
Angled toward the low winter sun, it bakes: powder turns heavy soon after a storm, and in spring it softens early in the day and refreezes hard overnight. Shading from ridges and trees isn't counted yet.
