Black diamond Stevens Pass, WA
Pegasus drops 1,702 vertical feet over 4,331 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 36° about 1,570 feet below the top. That's steeper than 88% of the 4,740 black diamond runs we've measured in North America, and the 26th steepest of 70 named runs at Stevens Pass. It faces southeast.
Facing southeast at an average 23°, Pegasus gets about 139% of the winter sun that flat ground at Stevens Pass does, December through March. That's sunnier than 96% of the runs we've measured, and the 5th sunniest named run at Stevens Pass. Its top sits at 5,560 feet.
Angled toward the low winter sun, it bakes: powder turns heavy soon after a storm, and in spring it softens early in the day and refreezes hard overnight. Shading from ridges and trees isn't counted yet.
