Blue Mt Ashland, OR
Lupine drops 169 vertical feet over 739 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 34° about 510 feet below the top. That's steeper than 99% of the 5,615 blue runs we've measured in North America, and the 9th steepest of 40 named runs at Mt Ashland. It faces northwest.
Facing northwest at an average 13°, Lupine gets about 69% of the winter sun that flat ground at Mt Ashland does, December through March. That's shadier than 73% of the runs we've measured, and the 23rd shadiest named run at Mt Ashland. Its top sits at 6,670 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.
