North Face Bypass Trail drops 149 vertical feet over 1,279 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 16° about 30 feet below the top. That's steeper than 17% of the 5,615 blue runs we've measured in North America, and the 34th steepest of 47 named runs at Seven Springs. It faces north.
Facing north at an average 7°, North Face Bypass Trail gets about 65% of the winter sun that flat ground at Seven Springs does, December through March. That's shadier than 79% of the runs we've measured, and the 7th shadiest named run at Seven Springs. Its top sits at 2,880 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.
