Black diamond Crystal Mountain, WA
Frisco drops 250 vertical feet over 533 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 36° about 120 feet below the top. That's steeper than 89% of the 4,740 black diamond runs we've measured in North America, and the 62nd steepest of 133 named runs at Crystal Mountain. It faces north.
Facing north at an average 28°, Frisco 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 6th shadiest named run at Crystal Mountain. Its top sits at 5,790 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.
