Blue White Pass, WA
Paradise drops 433 vertical feet over 2,246 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 25° about 1,420 feet below the top. That's steeper than 74% of the 5,615 blue runs we've measured in North America, and the 35th steepest of 66 named runs at White Pass. It faces west.
Facing west at an average 11°, Paradise gets about 96% of the winter sun that flat ground at White Pass does, December through March. That's sunnier than 67% of the runs we've measured, and the 4th sunniest named run at White Pass. Its top sits at 5,790 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.
