Double black (off-piste) Stevens Pass, WA
Pegasus Gulch drops 650 vertical feet over 1,521 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 36° about 730 feet below the top. That's steeper than 46% of the 2,251 double black runs we've measured in North America, and the 28th steepest of 70 named runs at Stevens Pass. It faces southeast.
Facing southeast at an average 26°, Pegasus Gulch gets about 132% of the winter sun that flat ground at Stevens Pass does, December through March. That's sunnier than 93% of the runs we've measured, and the 7th sunniest named run at Stevens Pass. Its top sits at 4,860 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.
