Blue Mt Baker, WA
Diehl's drops 405 vertical feet over 1,474 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 29° about 20 feet below the top. That's steeper than 94% of the 5,615 blue runs we've measured in North America, and the 19th steepest of 35 named runs at Mt Baker. It faces northeast.
Facing northeast at an average 16°, Diehl's gets about 64% of the winter sun that flat ground at Mt Baker does, December through March. That's shadier than 80% of the runs we've measured, and the 6th shadiest named run at Mt Baker. Its top sits at 4,860 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.
