Double black Stevens Pass, WA
Winnie Chute 3 drops 186 vertical feet over 403 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 44° about 50 feet below the top. That's steeper than 87% of the 2,251 double black runs we've measured in North America, and the 9th steepest of 70 named runs at Stevens Pass. It faces north.
Facing north at an average 29°, Winnie Chute 3 gets about 43% of the winter sun that flat ground at Stevens Pass does, December through March. That's shadier than 96% of the runs we've measured, and the 6th shadiest named run at Stevens Pass. Its top sits at 5,000 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.
