Double black Mission Ridge, WA
Windy 6 drops 236 vertical feet over 762 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 31° about 90 feet below the top. That's steeper than 28% of the 2,251 double black runs we've measured in North America, and the 25th steepest of 55 named runs at Mission Ridge. It faces north.
Facing north at an average 18°, Windy 6 gets about 55% of the winter sun that flat ground at Mission Ridge does, December through March. That's shadier than 89% of the runs we've measured, and the 19th shadiest named run at Mission Ridge. Its top sits at 6,580 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.
