Green Mt Baker, WA
Expresso drops 578 vertical feet over 3,479 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 18° about 1,610 feet below the top. That's steeper than 76% of the 3,109 green runs we've measured in North America, and the 31st steepest of 35 named runs at Mt Baker. It faces north.
Facing north at an average 10°, Expresso gets about 76% of the winter sun that flat ground at Mt Baker does, December through March. That's shadier than 62% of the runs we've measured, and the 14th shadiest named run at Mt Baker. Its top sits at 4,210 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.
