Double black June Mountain, CA
Powder Chute drops 354 vertical feet over 930 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 33° about 150 feet below the top. That's steeper than 37% of the 2,251 double black runs we've measured in North America, and the 6th steepest of 31 named runs at June Mountain. It faces north.
Facing north at an average 23°, Powder Chute gets about 47% of the winter sun that flat ground at June Mountain does, December through March. That's shadier than 94% of the runs we've measured, and the 2nd shadiest named run at June Mountain. Its top sits at 10,070 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.
