Blue Pico Mountain, VT
Charlie's Highway drops 65 vertical feet over 328 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 16° about 300 feet below the top. That's steeper than 16% of the 5,615 blue runs we've measured in North America, and the 47th steepest of 58 named runs at Pico Mountain. It faces north.
Facing north at an average 12°, Charlie's Highway gets about 65% of the winter sun that flat ground at Pico Mountain does, December through March. That's shadier than 78% of the runs we've measured, and the 17th shadiest named run at Pico Mountain. Its top sits at 2,670 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.
