Double black Stevens Pass, WA
Corona Bowl drops 617 vertical feet over 2,260 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 43° about 180 feet below the top. That's steeper than 82% of the 2,251 double black runs we've measured in North America, and the 10th steepest of 70 named runs at Stevens Pass. It faces east.
Facing east at an average 17°, Corona Bowl gets about 93% of the winter sun that flat ground at Stevens Pass does, December through March. That's sunnier than 63% of the runs we've measured, and the 18th sunniest named run at Stevens Pass. Its top sits at 5,130 feet.
With little slope to hide behind, it takes nearly the full winter sun of open ground: powder settles and turns heavy sooner after a storm, and spring snow softens early. Shading from ridges and trees isn't counted yet.
