Blue 49 Degrees North, WA
Outer Dutchman drops 894 vertical feet over 5,607 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 22° about 5,220 feet below the top. That's steeper than 52% of the 5,615 blue runs we've measured in North America, and the 61st steepest of 83 named runs at 49 Degrees North. It faces east.
Facing east at an average 9°, Outer Dutchman gets about 93% of the winter sun that flat ground at 49 Degrees North does, December through March. That's sunnier than 64% of the runs we've measured, and the 10th sunniest named run at 49 Degrees North. Its top sits at 5,050 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.
