Green Wolf Creek, CO
Valley drops 97 vertical feet over 573 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 15° about 20 feet below the top. That's steeper than 54% of the 3,109 green runs we've measured in North America, and the 113th steepest of 131 named runs at Wolf Creek. It faces east.
Facing east at an average 10°, Valley gets about 95% of the winter sun that flat ground at Wolf Creek does, December through March. That's sunnier than 66% of the runs we've measured, and the 25th sunniest named run at Wolf Creek. Its top sits at 10,780 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.
