Black diamond Mt Spokane, WA
Lu's Lane drops 864 vertical feet over 2,607 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 29° about 690 feet below the top. That's steeper than 49% of the 4,740 black diamond runs we've measured in North America, and the 6th steepest of 57 named runs at Mt Spokane. It faces northeast.
Facing northeast at an average 20°, Lu's Lane gets about 57% of the winter sun that flat ground at Mt Spokane does, December through March. That's shadier than 87% of the runs we've measured, and the 7th shadiest named run at Mt Spokane. Its top sits at 5,180 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.
