Blue Dodge Ridge, CA
Stampmill drops 641 vertical feet over 4,858 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 13° about 710 feet below the top. That's steeper than 8% of the 5,615 blue runs we've measured in North America, and the 48th steepest of 53 named runs at Dodge Ridge. It faces west.
Facing west at an average 8°, Stampmill gets about 105% of the winter sun that flat ground at Dodge Ridge does, December through March. That's sunnier than 76% of the runs we've measured, and the 7th sunniest named run at Dodge Ridge. Its top sits at 8,120 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.
