Blue Alpine Meadows, CA
Kangaroo Ridge drops 385 vertical feet over 1,908 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 19° about 10 feet below the top. That's steeper than 33% of the 5,615 blue runs we've measured in North America, and the 121st steepest of 132 named runs at Alpine Meadows. It faces northeast.
Facing northeast at an average 12°, Kangaroo Ridge gets about 78% of the winter sun that flat ground at Alpine Meadows does, December through March. That's shadier than 59% of the runs we've measured, and the 66th shadiest named run at Alpine Meadows. Its top sits at 7,360 feet.
It gets an ordinary dose of sun: powder lasts a typical amount of time, and spring snow softens on a normal schedule. Shading from ridges and trees isn't counted yet.
