Blue Crystal Mountain, WA
Bill's face drops 112 vertical feet over 294 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 30° about 90 feet below the top. That's steeper than 95% of the 5,615 blue runs we've measured in North America, and the 94th steepest of 133 named runs at Crystal Mountain. It faces north.
Facing north at an average 23°, Bill's face gets about 36% of the winter sun that flat ground at Crystal Mountain does, December through March. That's shadier than 99% of the runs we've measured, and the 8th shadiest named run at Crystal Mountain. Its top sits at 6,240 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.
