Blue Mission Ridge, WA
Chak Chak drops 1,161 vertical feet over 5,166 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 25° about 1,590 feet below the top. That's steeper than 74% of the 5,615 blue runs we've measured in North America, and the 41st steepest of 55 named runs at Mission Ridge. It faces north.
Facing north at an average 13°, Chak Chak gets about 60% of the winter sun that flat ground at Mission Ridge does, December through March. That's shadier than 85% of the runs we've measured, and the 25th shadiest named run at Mission Ridge. Its top sits at 5,770 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.
