Whit's End drops 318 vertical feet over 886 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 34° about 690 feet below the top. That's steeper than 78% of the 4,740 black diamond runs we've measured in North America, and the 73rd steepest of 133 named runs at Crystal Mountain. It faces northeast.
Facing northeast at an average 21°, Whit's End gets about 65% of the winter sun that flat ground at Crystal Mountain does, December through March. That's shadier than 79% of the runs we've measured, and the 20th shadiest named run at Crystal Mountain. Its top sits at 5,260 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.
