Double black Crystal Mountain, WA
Rabbit Ears drops 454 vertical feet over 805 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 38° about 140 feet below the top. That's steeper than 61% of the 2,251 double black runs we've measured in North America, and the 45th steepest of 133 named runs at Crystal Mountain. It faces south.
Facing south at an average 34°, Rabbit Ears gets about 179% of the winter sun that flat ground at Crystal Mountain does, December through March. That's sunnier than 100% of the runs we've measured, and the 2nd sunniest named run at Crystal Mountain. Its top sits at 6,780 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.
