Blue Mt Spokane, WA
Skookum drops 279 vertical feet over 1,491 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 20° about 10 feet below the top. That's steeper than 43% of the 5,615 blue runs we've measured in North America, and the 42nd steepest of 57 named runs at Mt Spokane. It faces northeast.
Facing northeast at an average 11°, Skookum gets about 76% of the winter sun that flat ground at Mt Spokane does, December through March. That's shadier than 61% of the runs we've measured, and the 19th shadiest named run at Mt Spokane. Its top sits at 5,610 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.
