Double black Bluewood, WA
Champagne drops 359 vertical feet over 1,142 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 30° about 40 feet below the top. That's steeper than 24% of the 2,251 double black runs we've measured in North America, and the 8th steepest of 37 named runs at Bluewood. It faces north.
Facing north at an average 18°, Champagne gets about 54% of the winter sun that flat ground at Bluewood does, December through March. That's shadier than 90% of the runs we've measured, and the 8th shadiest named run at Bluewood. Its top sits at 5,540 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.
