Chute 1 drops 337 vertical feet over 1,119 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 36° about 160 feet below the top. That's steeper than 46% of the 2,251 double black runs we've measured in North America, and the 6th steepest of 40 named runs at Mt Ashland. It faces northwest.
Facing northwest at an average 18°, Chute 1 gets about 62% of the winter sun that flat ground at Mt Ashland does, December through March. That's shadier than 83% of the runs we've measured, and the 10th shadiest named run at Mt Ashland. Its top sits at 7,470 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.
