Blue Granite Peak, WI
Miracle drops 424 vertical feet over 2,258 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 18° about 580 feet below the top. That's steeper than 25% of the 5,615 blue runs we've measured in North America, and the 32nd steepest of 59 named runs at Granite Peak. It faces north.
Facing north at an average 11°, Miracle gets about 69% of the winter sun that flat ground at Granite Peak does, December through March. That's shadier than 72% of the runs we've measured, and the 26th shadiest named run at Granite Peak. Its top sits at 1,800 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.
