Blue Mammoth, CA
Commin Through drops 116 vertical feet over 1,500 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 14° about 500 feet below the top. That's steeper than 9% of the 5,615 blue runs we've measured in North America, and the 138th steepest of 151 named runs at Mammoth. It faces northeast.
Facing northeast at an average 5°, Commin Through gets about 75% of the winter sun that flat ground at Mammoth does, December through March. That's shadier than 62% of the runs we've measured, and the 81st shadiest named run at Mammoth. Its top sits at 9,200 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.
