Black diamond Crystal Mountain, WA
Otto Bahn drops 710 vertical feet over 3,695 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 28° about 2,250 feet below the top. That's steeper than 40% of the 4,740 black diamond runs we've measured in North America, and the 103rd steepest of 133 named runs at Crystal Mountain. It faces northwest.
Facing northwest at an average 11°, Otto Bahn gets about 74% of the winter sun that flat ground at Crystal Mountain does, December through March. That's shadier than 65% of the runs we've measured, and the 32nd shadiest named run at Crystal Mountain. Its top sits at 6,260 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.
