Blue Stratton, VT
Beeline drops 149 vertical feet over 818 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 18° about 540 feet below the top. That's steeper than 27% of the 5,615 blue runs we've measured in North America, and the 62nd steepest of 112 named runs at Stratton. It faces north.
Facing north at an average 11°, Beeline gets about 69% of the winter sun that flat ground at Stratton does, December through March. That's shadier than 72% of the runs we've measured, and the 32nd shadiest named run at Stratton. Its top sits at 2,710 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.
