Blue Mt Baker, WA
Lower White Salmon drops 384 vertical feet over 1,879 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 21° about 220 feet below the top. That's steeper than 48% of the 5,615 blue runs we've measured in North America, and the 28th steepest of 35 named runs at Mt Baker. It faces northwest.
Facing northwest at an average 12°, Lower White Salmon gets about 72% of the winter sun that flat ground at Mt Baker does, December through March. That's shadier than 67% of the runs we've measured, and the 12th shadiest named run at Mt Baker. Its top sits at 4,050 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.
