Winnie Chute 2 drops 181 vertical feet over 439 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 38° about 80 feet below the top. That's steeper than 93% of the 4,740 black diamond runs we've measured in North America, and the 18th steepest of 70 named runs at Stevens Pass. It faces northwest.
Facing northwest at an average 25°, Winnie Chute 2 gets about 50% of the winter sun that flat ground at Stevens Pass does, December through March. That's shadier than 93% of the runs we've measured, and the 8th shadiest named run at Stevens Pass. Its top sits at 5,020 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.
