Double black Mission Ridge, WA
Windy 2 drops 192 vertical feet over 781 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 36° about 200 feet below the top. That's steeper than 50% of the 2,251 double black runs we've measured in North America, and the 15th steepest of 55 named runs at Mission Ridge. It faces north.
Facing north at an average 16°, Windy 2 gets about 72% of the winter sun that flat ground at Mission Ridge does, December through March. That's shadier than 67% of the runs we've measured, and the 34th shadiest named run at Mission Ridge. Its top sits at 6,570 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.
