Blue Okemo, VT
Whispering Pines drops 328 vertical feet over 2,162 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 22° about 1,890 feet below the top. That's steeper than 58% of the 5,615 blue runs we've measured in North America, and the 38th steepest of 124 named runs at Okemo. It faces north.
Facing north at an average 9°, Whispering Pines gets about 73% of the winter sun that flat ground at Okemo does, December through March. That's shadier than 66% of the runs we've measured, and the 6th shadiest named run at Okemo. Its top sits at 3,010 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.
