Blue Mountain High, CA
Goldrush drops 1,598 vertical feet over 6,454 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 23° about 5,400 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°, Goldrush gets about 75% of the winter sun that flat ground at Mountain High does, December through March. That's shadier than 62% of the runs we've measured, and the 20th shadiest named run at Mountain High. Its top sits at 8,190 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.
