Blue Crystal Mountain, WA
Lucky Shot drops 697 vertical feet over 2,076 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 33° about 110 feet below the top. That's steeper than 99% of the 5,615 blue runs we've measured in North America, and the 80th steepest of 133 named runs at Crystal Mountain. It faces east.
Facing east at an average 20°, Lucky Shot gets about 118% of the winter sun that flat ground at Crystal Mountain does, December through March. That's sunnier than 85% of the runs we've measured, and the 43rd sunniest named run at Crystal Mountain. Its top sits at 6,410 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.
