Blue Crystal Mountain, WA
Jack's Cut drops 202 vertical feet over 734 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 28° about 190 feet below the top. That's steeper than 90% of the 5,615 blue runs we've measured in North America, and the 102nd steepest of 133 named runs at Crystal Mountain. It faces north.
Facing north at an average 16°, Jack's Cut gets about 54% of the winter sun that flat ground at Crystal Mountain does, December through March. That's shadier than 90% of the runs we've measured, and the 17th shadiest named run at Crystal Mountain. Its top sits at 6,100 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.
