Blue Mt Lemmon, AZ
Graham Hill drops 175 vertical feet over 506 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 26° about 30 feet below the top. That's steeper than 83% of the 5,615 blue runs we've measured in North America, and the 8th steepest of 21 named runs at Mt Lemmon. It faces north.
Facing north at an average 20°, Graham Hill gets about 60% of the winter sun that flat ground at Mt Lemmon does, December through March. That's shadier than 84% of the runs we've measured, and the 7th shadiest named run at Mt Lemmon. Its top sits at 8,490 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.
