Double black Heavenly, CA
Stateline drops 468 vertical feet over 840 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 37° about 40 feet below the top. That's steeper than 53% of the 2,251 double black runs we've measured in North America, and the 18th steepest of 124 named runs at Heavenly. It faces northeast.
Facing northeast at an average 34°, Stateline gets about 50% of the winter sun that flat ground at Heavenly does, December through March. That's shadier than 93% of the runs we've measured, and the 9th shadiest named run at Heavenly. Its top sits at 9,270 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.
