Double black Crystal Mountain, WA
Bull Run drops 977 vertical feet over 2,085 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 37° about 1,000 feet below the top. That's steeper than 56% of the 2,251 double black runs we've measured in North America, and the 54th steepest of 133 named runs at Crystal Mountain. It faces southeast.
Facing southeast at an average 28°, Bull Run gets about 146% of the winter sun that flat ground at Crystal Mountain does, December through March. That's sunnier than 98% of the runs we've measured, and the 18th sunniest named run at Crystal Mountain. Its top sits at 6,040 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.
