Black diamond Mt Spokane, WA
Big 200 drops 1,007 vertical feet over 2,794 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 29° about 1,240 feet below the top. That's steeper than 51% of the 4,740 black diamond runs we've measured in North America, and the 5th steepest of 57 named runs at Mt Spokane. It faces east.
Facing east at an average 21°, Big 200 gets about 106% of the winter sun that flat ground at Mt Spokane does, December through March. That's sunnier than 77% of the runs we've measured, and the 23rd sunniest named run at Mt Spokane. Its top sits at 5,650 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.
