Blue Terry Peak, SD
Upper Stewart drops 244 vertical feet over 1,004 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 19° about 820 feet below the top. That's steeper than 35% of the 5,615 blue runs we've measured in North America, and the 19th steepest of 26 named runs at Terry Peak. It faces north.
Facing north at an average 14°, Upper Stewart gets about 55% of the winter sun that flat ground at Terry Peak does, December through March. That's shadier than 89% of the runs we've measured, and the 3rd shadiest named run at Terry Peak. Its top sits at 6,970 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.
