Interstate drops 407 vertical feet over 2,595 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 15° about 1,800 feet below the top. That's steeper than 14% of the 5,615 blue runs we've measured in North America, and the 86th steepest of 112 named runs at Stratton. It faces northeast.

How well Interstate holds snow

Snow preservationGood

Facing northeast at an average 9°, Interstate gets about 68% of the winter sun that flat ground at Stratton does, December through March. That's shadier than 74% of the runs we've measured, and the 29th shadiest named run at Stratton. Its top sits at 3,230 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.
