Double black (off-piste) Stevens Pass, WA
Meadows drops 846 vertical feet over 1,784 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 45° about 210 feet below the top. That's steeper than 89% of the 2,251 double black runs we've measured in North America, and the 5th steepest of 70 named runs at Stevens Pass. It faces north.
Facing north at an average 29°, Meadows gets about 41% of the winter sun that flat ground at Stevens Pass does, December through March. That's shadier than 97% of the runs we've measured, and the 5th shadiest named run at Stevens Pass. Its top sits at 5,660 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.
