Blue Mountain High, CA
Conquest drops 666 vertical feet over 2,686 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 23° about 300 feet below the top. That's steeper than 64% of the 5,615 blue runs we've measured in North America, and the 19th steepest of 37 named runs at Mountain High. It faces northeast.
Facing northeast at an average 14°, Conquest gets about 74% of the winter sun that flat ground at Mountain High does, December through March. That's shadier than 65% of the runs we've measured, and the 16th shadiest named run at Mountain High. Its top sits at 7,740 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.
