Blue Dodge Ridge, CA
Lower Stagecoach drops 758 vertical feet over 4,860 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 20° about 1,960 feet below the top. That's steeper than 43% of the 5,615 blue runs we've measured in North America, and the 32nd steepest of 53 named runs at Dodge Ridge. It faces west.
Facing west at an average 9°, Lower Stagecoach gets about 100% of the winter sun that flat ground at Dodge Ridge does, December through March. That's sunnier than 72% of the runs we've measured, and the 8th sunniest named run at Dodge Ridge. Its top sits at 7,500 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.
