Blue Bluewood, WA
Daytona drops 425 vertical feet over 1,498 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 28° about 70 feet below the top. That's steeper than 90% of the 5,615 blue runs we've measured in North America, and the 17th steepest of 37 named runs at Bluewood. It faces east.
Facing east at an average 17°, Daytona gets about 96% of the winter sun that flat ground at Bluewood does, December through March. That's sunnier than 67% of the runs we've measured, and the 8th sunniest named run at Bluewood. Its top sits at 5,350 feet.
With little slope to hide behind, it takes nearly the full winter sun of open ground: powder settles and turns heavy sooner after a storm, and spring snow softens early. Shading from ridges and trees isn't counted yet.
