Blue Winter Park, CO
Lower Parkway drops 260 vertical feet over 1,653 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 16° about 1,110 feet below the top. That's steeper than 19% of the 5,615 blue runs we've measured in North America, and the 129th steepest of 164 named runs at Winter Park. It faces east.
Facing east at an average 9°, Lower Parkway gets about 100% of the winter sun that flat ground at Winter Park does, December through March. That's sunnier than 71% of the runs we've measured, and the 33rd sunniest named run at Winter Park. Its top sits at 9,370 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.
