Black diamond Loup Loup, WA
Terminator drops 382 vertical feet over 1,083 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 24° about 260 feet below the top. That's steeper than 20% of the 4,740 black diamond runs we've measured in North America, and the 8th steepest of 15 named runs at Loup Loup. It faces northeast.
Facing northeast at an average 21°, Terminator gets about 54% of the winter sun that flat ground at Loup Loup does, December through March. That's shadier than 90% of the runs we've measured, and the 3rd shadiest named run at Loup Loup. Its top sits at 4,700 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.
