Blue Mission Ridge, WA
Road to Chair 4 drops 155 vertical feet over 600 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 20° about 260 feet below the top. That's steeper than 38% of the 5,615 blue runs we've measured in North America, and the 51st steepest of 55 named runs at Mission Ridge. It faces north.
Facing north at an average 15°, Road to Chair 4 gets about 57% of the winter sun that flat ground at Mission Ridge does, December through March. That's shadier than 87% of the runs we've measured, and the 23rd shadiest named run at Mission Ridge. Its top sits at 5,030 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.
