Double black Blue Mountain, ON
Calamity Lane drops 545 vertical feet over 2,052 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 34° about 340 feet below the top. That's steeper than 39% of the 2,251 double black runs we've measured in North America, and the 1st steepest of 55 named runs at Blue Mountain. It faces northeast.
Facing northeast at an average 16°, Calamity Lane gets about 72% of the winter sun that flat ground at Blue Mountain does, December through March. That's shadier than 68% of the runs we've measured, and the 12th shadiest named run at Blue Mountain. Its top sits at 1,310 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.
