Green 49 Degrees North, WA
Quartzite Ridge drops 236 vertical feet over 2,158 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 16° about 120 feet below the top. That's steeper than 60% of the 3,109 green runs we've measured in North America, and the 72nd steepest of 83 named runs at 49 Degrees North. It faces east.
Facing east at an average 6°, Quartzite Ridge gets about 107% of the winter sun that flat ground at 49 Degrees North does, December through March. That's sunnier than 77% of the runs we've measured, and the 4th sunniest named run at 49 Degrees North. Its top sits at 5,280 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.
