Double black Mt Baker, WA
Gunners Bowl drops 435 vertical feet over 1,674 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 53° about 140 feet below the top. That's steeper than 100% 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 northeast.
Facing northeast at an average 17°, Gunners Bowl gets about 76% of the winter sun that flat ground at Mt Baker does, December through March. That's shadier than 61% of the runs we've measured, and the 15th shadiest named run at Mt Baker. Its top sits at 4,980 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.
