Black diamond Mt Baker, WA
Pan Face drops 654 vertical feet over 2,132 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 38° about 1,900 feet below the top. That's steeper than 93% of the 4,740 black diamond runs we've measured in North America, and the 6th steepest of 35 named runs at Mt Baker. It faces northwest.
Facing northwest at an average 19°, Pan Face gets about 55% of the winter sun that flat ground at Mt Baker does, December through March. That's shadier than 89% of the runs we've measured, and the 4th shadiest named run at Mt Baker. Its top sits at 5,030 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.
