Double black (extreme) Crystal Mountain, WA
Right Angle Trees (Lower RA) drops 502 vertical feet over 972 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 38° about 610 feet below the top. That's steeper than 62% of the 2,251 double black runs we've measured in North America, and the 43rd steepest of 133 named runs at Crystal Mountain. It faces east.
Facing east at an average 31°, Right Angle Trees (Lower RA) gets about 94% of the winter sun that flat ground at Crystal Mountain does, December through March. That's sunnier than 65% of the runs we've measured, and the 70th sunniest named run at Crystal Mountain. Its top sits at 5,170 feet.
With little slope to hide behind, it takes nearly the full winter sun of open ground: powder settles and turns heavy sooner after a storm, and spring snow softens early. Shading from ridges and trees isn't counted yet.
