Blue Antelope Butte, WY
Pilunge drops 184 vertical feet over 818 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 19° about 350 feet below the top. That's steeper than 34% of the 5,615 blue runs we've measured in North America, and the 30th steepest of 40 named runs at Antelope Butte. It faces north.
Facing north at an average 13°, Pilunge gets about 56% of the winter sun that flat ground at Antelope Butte does, December through March. That's shadier than 88% of the runs we've measured, and the 8th shadiest named run at Antelope Butte. Its top sits at 9,350 feet.
Shaded snow stays colder and drier, so it holds powder longer after a storm and is slower to crust over or turn to slush in spring. Shading from ridges and trees isn't counted yet.
