I was looking at Sunshine's maps, and there are a few green runs that looks like it runs mostly horizontal along the base of the mountain. Can you get enough momentum to carry yourself through those, or am I just viewing the maps too literally?
At KH and Revy, I think the long green runs are both cat tracks that wind across the mountain. They are essentially huge switchbacks that cut back and forth across the main fall line of the hill. So they aren`t so flat that you can`t ski down them, they just aren`t very exciting.

At Sunshine, if you are looking at the ski out run that goes from the Village down to the base of Goat`s Eye, then yes it is very flat in places, flat enough that a lot of people end up hiking or poling.
