Green Vail, CO
Tin Pants drops 336 vertical feet over 1,936 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 18° about 1,840 feet below the top. That's steeper than 75% of the 3,109 green runs we've measured in North America, and the 171st steepest of 194 named runs at Vail. It faces west.
Facing west at an average 10°, Tin Pants gets about 103% of the winter sun that flat ground at Vail does, December through March. That's sunnier than 74% of the runs we've measured, and the 50th sunniest named run at Vail. Its top sits at 11,060 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.
