Green Crystal Mountain, WA
Snow Garden drops 178 vertical feet over 1,298 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 17° about 380 feet below the top. That's steeper than 72% of the 3,109 green runs we've measured in North America, and the 129th steepest of 133 named runs at Crystal Mountain. It faces east.
Facing east at an average 8°, Snow Garden gets about 92% of the winter sun that flat ground at Crystal Mountain does, December through March. That's sunnier than 62% of the runs we've measured, and the 74th sunniest named run at Crystal Mountain. Its top sits at 5,350 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.
