Blue Mt Ashland, OR
Upper Romeo drops 457 vertical feet over 1,577 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 30° about 1,060 feet below the top. That's steeper than 96% of the 5,615 blue runs we've measured in North America, and the 15th steepest of 40 named runs at Mt Ashland. It faces northeast.
Facing northeast at an average 17°, Upper Romeo gets about 67% of the winter sun that flat ground at Mt Ashland does, December through March. That's shadier than 76% of the runs we've measured, and the 20th shadiest named run at Mt Ashland. Its top sits at 7,080 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.
