Blue Stratton, VT
West Pilot drops 449 vertical feet over 2,462 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 14° about 50 feet below the top. That's steeper than 11% of the 5,615 blue runs we've measured in North America, and the 94th steepest of 112 named runs at Stratton. It faces northwest.
Facing northwest at an average 11°, West Pilot gets about 71% of the winter sun that flat ground at Stratton does, December through March. That's shadier than 70% of the runs we've measured, and the 39th shadiest named run at Stratton. Its top sits at 3,370 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.
