Blue Mt Shasta, CA
Horizon drops 300 vertical feet over 1,157 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 23° about 420 feet below the top. That's steeper than 61% of the 5,615 blue runs we've measured in North America, and the 19th steepest of 34 named runs at Mt Shasta. It faces southwest.
Facing southwest at an average 15°, Horizon gets about 119% of the winter sun that flat ground at Mt Shasta does, December through March. That's sunnier than 86% of the runs we've measured, and the 16th sunniest named run at Mt Shasta. Its top sits at 5,930 feet.
Angled toward the low winter sun, it bakes: powder turns heavy soon after a storm, and in spring it softens early in the day and refreezes hard overnight. Shading from ridges and trees isn't counted yet.
