Blue Hoodoo, OR
Blue Valley drops 270 vertical feet over 1,486 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 25° about 360 feet below the top. That's steeper than 75% of the 5,615 blue runs we've measured in North America, and the 24th steepest of 38 named runs at Hoodoo. It faces southeast.
Facing southeast at an average 11°, Blue Valley gets about 116% of the winter sun that flat ground at Hoodoo does, December through March. That's sunnier than 84% of the runs we've measured, and the 6th sunniest named run at Hoodoo. Its top sits at 4,950 feet.
Angled toward the low winter sun, it bakes: powder turns heavy soon after a storm, and in spring it softens early in the day and refreezes hard overnight. Shading from ridges and trees isn't counted yet.
