Blue Crested Butte, CO
Deer Pass drops 240 vertical feet over 1,317 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 21° about 340 feet below the top. That's steeper than 44% of the 5,615 blue runs we've measured in North America, and the 195th steepest of 227 named runs at Crested Butte. It faces north.
Facing north at an average 11°, Deer Pass gets about 75% of the winter sun that flat ground at Crested Butte does, December through March. That's shadier than 62% of the runs we've measured, and the 59th shadiest named run at Crested Butte. Its top sits at 9,860 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.
