Blue White Pass, WA
Lower Roller drops 510 vertical feet over 1,921 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 27° about 470 feet below the top. That's steeper than 87% of the 5,615 blue runs we've measured in North America, and the 28th steepest of 66 named runs at White Pass. It faces northwest.
Facing northwest at an average 16°, Lower Roller gets about 56% of the winter sun that flat ground at White Pass does, December through March. That's shadier than 88% of the runs we've measured, and the 10th shadiest named run at White Pass. Its top sits at 5,020 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.
