Green Northstar, CA
Woodcutter drops 157 vertical feet over 1,837 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 10° about 240 feet below the top. That's steeper than 21% of the 3,109 green runs we've measured in North America, and the 87th steepest of 90 named runs at Northstar. It faces east.
Facing east at an average 5°, Woodcutter gets about 105% of the winter sun that flat ground at Northstar does, December through March. That's sunnier than 76% of the runs we've measured, and the 4th sunniest named run at Northstar. Its top sits at 7,000 feet.
Angled toward the low winter sun, it bakes: powder turns heavy soon after a storm, and in spring it softens early in the day and refreezes hard overnight. Shading from ridges and trees isn't counted yet.
