Blue Vail, CO
Slifer Express drops 502 vertical feet over 1,745 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 24° about 1,100 feet below the top. That's steeper than 67% of the 5,615 blue runs we've measured in North America, and the 131st steepest of 194 named runs at Vail. It faces northwest.
Facing northwest at an average 17°, Slifer Express gets about 81% of the winter sun that flat ground at Vail does, December through March. That's shadier than 54% of the runs we've measured, and the 120th shadiest named run at Vail. Its top sits at 10,960 feet.
It gets an ordinary dose of sun: powder lasts a typical amount of time, and spring snow softens on a normal schedule. Shading from ridges and trees isn't counted yet.
