Black diamond Crystal Mountain, WA
Boondoggle drops 437 vertical feet over 1,669 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 39° about 10 feet below the top. That's steeper than 94% of the 4,740 black diamond runs we've measured in North America, and the 38th steepest of 133 named runs at Crystal Mountain. It faces northeast.
Facing northeast at an average 16°, Boondoggle gets about 76% of the winter sun that flat ground at Crystal Mountain does, December through March. That's shadier than 61% of the runs we've measured, and the 35th shadiest named run at Crystal Mountain. Its top sits at 5,250 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.
