Blue Crystal Mountain, WA
Huckleberry drops 160 vertical feet over 639 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 21° about 10 feet below the top. That's steeper than 47% of the 5,615 blue runs we've measured in North America, and the 121st steepest of 133 named runs at Crystal Mountain. It faces southeast.
Facing southeast at an average 15°, Huckleberry gets about 130% of the winter sun that flat ground at Crystal Mountain does, December through March. That's sunnier than 92% of the runs we've measured, and the 35th sunniest named run at Crystal Mountain. Its top sits at 6,400 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.
