Unrated Mt Ashland, OR
Chute 5 drops 40 vertical feet over 333 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 18° about 80 feet below the top. That's steeper than 71% of the 511 unrated runs we've measured in North America, and the 36th steepest of 40 named runs at Mt Ashland. It faces northeast.
Facing northeast at an average 7°, Chute 5 gets about 91% of the winter sun that flat ground at Mt Ashland does, December through March. That's sunnier than 61% of the runs we've measured, and the 4th sunniest named run at Mt Ashland. Its top sits at 7,200 feet.
With little slope to hide behind, it takes nearly the full winter sun of open ground: powder settles and turns heavy sooner after a storm, and spring snow softens early. Shading from ridges and trees isn't counted yet.
