Blue Stevens Pass, WA
International drops 383 vertical feet over 1,546 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 30° about 160 feet below the top. That's steeper than 96% of the 5,615 blue runs we've measured in North America, and the 40th steepest of 70 named runs at Stevens Pass. It faces northeast.
Facing northeast at an average 15°, International gets about 65% of the winter sun that flat ground at Stevens Pass does, December through March. That's shadier than 79% of the runs we've measured, and the 16th shadiest named run at Stevens Pass. Its top sits at 4,760 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.
