Blue Lookout Pass, ID
Olympia drops 520 vertical feet over 2,216 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 26° about 780 feet below the top. That's steeper than 84% of the 5,615 blue runs we've measured in North America, and the 18th steepest of 49 named runs at Lookout Pass. It faces east.
Facing east at an average 14°, Olympia gets about 102% of the winter sun that flat ground at Lookout Pass does, December through March. That's sunnier than 74% of the runs we've measured, and the 19th sunniest named run at Lookout Pass. Its top sits at 5,320 feet.
With little slope to hide behind, it takes nearly the full winter sun of open ground: powder settles and turns heavy sooner after a storm, and spring snow softens early. Shading from ridges and trees isn't counted yet.
