Blue Dodge Ridge, CA
Comstock drops 427 vertical feet over 1,831 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 23° about 360 feet below the top. That's steeper than 66% of the 5,615 blue runs we've measured in North America, and the 23rd steepest of 53 named runs at Dodge Ridge. It faces north.
Facing north at an average 14°, Comstock gets about 70% of the winter sun that flat ground at Dodge Ridge does, December through March. That's shadier than 72% of the runs we've measured, and the 24th shadiest named run at Dodge Ridge. Its top sits at 7,250 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.
