Blue Pico Mountain, VT
Lift Line drops 341 vertical feet over 1,477 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 20° about 940 feet below the top. That's steeper than 39% of the 5,615 blue runs we've measured in North America, and the 24th steepest of 58 named runs at Pico Mountain. It faces northeast.
Facing northeast at an average 13°, Lift Line gets about 68% of the winter sun that flat ground at Pico Mountain does, December through March. That's shadier than 75% of the runs we've measured, and the 23rd shadiest named run at Pico Mountain. Its top sits at 2,360 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.
