Double black Snow Summit, CA
Olympic drops 479 vertical feet over 1,661 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 32° about 1,330 feet below the top. That's steeper than 33% of the 2,251 double black runs we've measured in North America, and the 1st steepest of 27 named runs at Snow Summit. It faces northwest.
Facing northwest at an average 17°, Olympic gets about 68% of the winter sun that flat ground at Snow Summit does, December through March. That's shadier than 75% of the runs we've measured, and the 5th shadiest named run at Snow Summit. Its top sits at 8,120 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.
