Double black Mt Baker, WA
Gabl's drops 1,147 vertical feet over 2,666 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 49° about 1,430 feet below the top. That's steeper than 96% of the 2,251 double black runs we've measured in North America, and the 1st steepest of 35 named runs at Mt Baker. It faces north.
Facing north at an average 27°, Gabl's gets about 43% of the winter sun that flat ground at Mt Baker does, December through March. That's shadier than 96% of the runs we've measured, and the shadiest named run at Mt Baker. Its top sits at 4,900 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.
