Blue Hoodoo, OR
Powder Valley 3 drops 193 vertical feet over 624 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 24° about 290 feet below the top. That's steeper than 73% of the 5,615 blue runs we've measured in North America, and the 25th steepest of 38 named runs at Hoodoo. It faces east.
Facing east at an average 18°, Powder Valley 3 gets about 106% of the winter sun that flat ground at Hoodoo does, December through March. That's sunnier than 77% of the runs we've measured, and the 13th sunniest named run at Hoodoo. Its top sits at 4,900 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.
