Blue Stratton, VT
Snow Bowl Alley drops 265 vertical feet over 1,570 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 16° about 1,360 feet below the top. That's steeper than 17% of the 5,615 blue runs we've measured in North America, and the 79th steepest of 112 named runs at Stratton. It faces northwest.
Facing northwest at an average 10°, Snow Bowl Alley gets about 74% of the winter sun that flat ground at Stratton does, December through March. That's shadier than 64% of the runs we've measured, and the 54th shadiest named run at Stratton. Its top sits at 2,770 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.
