Blue Stevens Pass, WA
Blue Trail drops 748 vertical feet over 3,152 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 26° about 1,460 feet below the top. That's steeper than 85% of the 5,615 blue runs we've measured in North America, and the 48th steepest of 70 named runs at Stevens Pass. It faces northeast.
Facing northeast at an average 14°, Blue Trail gets about 66% of the winter sun that flat ground at Stevens Pass does, December through March. That's shadier than 77% of the runs we've measured, and the 17th shadiest named run at Stevens Pass. Its top sits at 4,820 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.
