Blue China Peak, CA
Westridge, Lakeview drops 1 vertical feet over 20 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 6° about 20 feet below the top. That's steeper than 1% of the 5,615 blue runs we've measured in North America, and the 48th steepest of 54 named runs at China Peak. It faces southwest.
Facing southwest at an average 3°, Westridge, Lakeview gets about 109% of the winter sun that flat ground at China Peak does, December through March. That's sunnier than 79% of the runs we've measured, and the sunniest named run at China Peak. Its top sits at 8,320 feet.
Angled toward the low winter sun, it bakes: powder turns heavy soon after a storm, and in spring it softens early in the day and refreezes hard overnight. Shading from ridges and trees isn't counted yet.
Measured by ZRankings from 1-meter USGS lidar. Steepest pitch is the steepest stretch of about 50 vertical feet along the skiable line. Run lines come from OpenStreetMap and can sit a little off the skied path.
