Blue Warner Canyon, OR
The Face drops 172 vertical feet over 652 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 26° about 230 feet below the top. That's steeper than 81% of the 5,615 blue runs we've measured in North America, and the 8th steepest of 21 named runs at Warner Canyon. It faces north.
Facing north at an average 15°, The Face gets about 60% of the winter sun that flat ground at Warner Canyon does, December through March. That's shadier than 84% of the runs we've measured, and the 3rd shadiest named run at Warner Canyon. Its top sits at 5,920 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.
