Black diamond 49 Degrees North, WA
Cherub drops 167 vertical feet over 820 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 25° about 100 feet below the top. That's steeper than 26% of the 4,740 black diamond runs we've measured in North America, and the 42nd steepest of 83 named runs at 49 Degrees North. It faces southeast.
Facing southeast at an average 12°, Cherub gets about 118% of the winter sun that flat ground at 49 Degrees North does, December through March. That's sunnier than 85% of the runs we've measured, and the 2nd sunniest named run at 49 Degrees North. Its top sits at 4,870 feet.
Angled toward the low winter sun, it bakes: powder turns heavy soon after a storm, and in spring it softens early in the day and refreezes hard overnight. Shading from ridges and trees isn't counted yet.
