Blue Granite Peak, WI
Snowshoe drops 40 vertical feet over 357 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 10° about 10 feet below the top. That's steeper than 3% of the 5,615 blue runs we've measured in North America, and the 51st steepest of 59 named runs at Granite Peak. It faces north.
Facing north at an average 7°, Snowshoe gets about 73% of the winter sun that flat ground at Granite Peak does, December through March. That's shadier than 66% of the runs we've measured, and the 32nd shadiest named run at Granite Peak. Its top sits at 1,530 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.
