Double black Stevens Pass, WA
Double Diamond drops 1,080 vertical feet over 2,202 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 39° about 1,000 feet below the top. That's steeper than 64% of the 2,251 double black runs we've measured in North America, and the 16th steepest of 70 named runs at Stevens Pass. It faces northwest.
Facing northwest at an average 30°, Double Diamond gets about 69% of the winter sun that flat ground at Stevens Pass does, December through March. That's shadier than 73% of the runs we've measured, and the 18th shadiest named run at Stevens Pass. Its top sits at 5,560 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.
