Blue Mt Spokane, WA
Trail to Ridge Run drops 310 vertical feet over 2,409 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 18° about 10 feet below the top. That's steeper than 27% of the 5,615 blue runs we've measured in North America, and the 52nd steepest of 57 named runs at Mt Spokane. It faces northwest.
Facing northwest at an average 7°, Trail to Ridge Run gets about 74% of the winter sun that flat ground at Mt Spokane does, December through March. That's shadier than 64% of the runs we've measured, and the 16th shadiest named run at Mt Spokane. Its top sits at 5,360 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.
