Double black (off-piste) Mt Baker, WA
Inside Cliff Boundary Run drops 405 vertical feet over 1,141 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 36° about 1,030 feet below the top. That's steeper than 47% of the 2,251 double black runs we've measured in North America, and the 8th steepest of 35 named runs at Mt Baker. It faces north.
Facing north at an average 21°, Inside Cliff Boundary Run gets about 48% of the winter sun that flat ground at Mt Baker does, December through March. That's shadier than 94% of the runs we've measured, and the 3rd shadiest named run at Mt Baker. Its top sits at 4,990 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.
