Blue Mt Ashland, OR
Poma drops 210 vertical feet over 642 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 31° about 520 feet below the top. That's steeper than 98% of the 5,615 blue runs we've measured in North America, and the 12th steepest of 40 named runs at Mt Ashland. It faces northwest.
Facing northwest at an average 19°, Poma gets about 76% of the winter sun that flat ground at Mt Ashland does, December through March. That's shadier than 61% of the runs we've measured, and the 31st shadiest named run at Mt Ashland. Its top sits at 6,690 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.
