Blue Mt Spokane, WA
Ridge Run drops 1,364 vertical feet over 5,587 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 24° about 1,540 feet below the top. That's steeper than 68% of the 5,615 blue runs we've measured in North America, and the 31st steepest of 57 named runs at Mt Spokane. It faces north.
Facing north at an average 14°, Ridge Run 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 6th shadiest named run at Mt Spokane. Its top sits at 5,320 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.
