Blue Mission Ridge, WA
North Bomber drops 330 vertical feet over 1,189 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 22° about 730 feet below the top. That's steeper than 58% of the 5,615 blue runs we've measured in North America, and the 47th steepest of 55 named runs at Mission Ridge. It faces northeast.
Facing northeast at an average 16°, North Bomber gets about 70% of the winter sun that flat ground at Mission Ridge does, December through March. That's shadier than 71% of the runs we've measured, and the 33rd shadiest named run at Mission Ridge. Its top sits at 6,480 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.
