Blue White Pass, WA
Holicade drops 447 vertical feet over 2,202 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 28° about 350 feet below the top. That's steeper than 90% of the 5,615 blue runs we've measured in North America, and the 26th steepest of 66 named runs at White Pass. It faces east.
Facing east at an average 12°, Holicade gets about 92% of the winter sun that flat ground at White Pass does, December through March. That's sunnier than 63% of the runs we've measured, and the 8th sunniest named run at White Pass. Its top sits at 5,950 feet.
With little slope to hide behind, it takes nearly the full winter sun of open ground: powder settles and turns heavy sooner after a storm, and spring snow softens early. Shading from ridges and trees isn't counted yet.
