Blue Hoodoo, OR
Impossible Dream drops 669 vertical feet over 2,440 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 31° about 620 feet below the top. That's steeper than 97% of the 5,615 blue runs we've measured in North America, and the 9th steepest of 38 named runs at Hoodoo. It faces northwest.
Facing northwest at an average 16°, Impossible Dream gets about 76% of the winter sun that flat ground at Hoodoo does, December through March. That's shadier than 62% of the runs we've measured, and the 11th shadiest named run at Hoodoo. Its top sits at 5,670 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.
