Blue China Peak, CA
Westridge drops 878 vertical feet over 4,582 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 22° about 2,550 feet below the top. That's steeper than 58% of the 5,615 blue runs we've measured in North America, and the 28th steepest of 54 named runs at China Peak. It faces west.
Facing west at an average 11°, Westridge gets about 93% of the winter sun that flat ground at China Peak does, December through March. That's sunnier than 64% of the runs we've measured, and the 12th sunniest named run at China Peak. Its top sits at 8,480 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.
