Double black Stowe, VT
Liftline drops 1,146 vertical feet over 2,886 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 32° about 2,050 feet below the top. That's steeper than 31% of the 2,251 double black runs we've measured in North America, and the 17th steepest of 121 named runs at Stowe. It faces northeast.
Facing northeast at an average 24°, Liftline gets about 63% of the winter sun that flat ground at Stowe does, December through March. That's shadier than 81% of the runs we've measured, and the 20th shadiest named run at Stowe. Its top sits at 3,200 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.
