Green Wolf Creek, CO
Tail Spin drops 186 vertical feet over 1,280 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 11° about 220 feet below the top. That's steeper than 29% of the 3,109 green runs we've measured in North America, and the 122nd steepest of 131 named runs at Wolf Creek. It faces northeast.
Facing northeast at an average 8°, Tail Spin gets about 92% of the winter sun that flat ground at Wolf Creek does, December through March. That's sunnier than 62% of the runs we've measured, and the 36th sunniest named run at Wolf Creek. Its top sits at 10,560 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.
