Blue Northstar, CA
East Ridge drops 617 vertical feet over 5,242 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 21° about 4,590 feet below the top. That's steeper than 48% of the 5,615 blue runs we've measured in North America, and the 53rd steepest of 90 named runs at Northstar. It faces north.
Facing north at an average 7°, East Ridge gets about 81% of the winter sun that flat ground at Northstar does, December through March. That's shadier than 53% of the runs we've measured, and the 47th shadiest named run at Northstar. Its top sits at 8,610 feet.
It gets an ordinary dose of sun: powder lasts a typical amount of time, and spring snow softens on a normal schedule. Shading from ridges and trees isn't counted yet.
