Blue White Pass, WA
Poma Bowl drops 569 vertical feet over 1,982 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 28° about 930 feet below the top. That's steeper than 93% of the 5,615 blue runs we've measured in North America, and the 23rd steepest of 66 named runs at White Pass. It faces north.
Facing north at an average 17°, Poma Bowl gets about 54% of the winter sun that flat ground at White Pass does, December through March. That's shadier than 90% of the runs we've measured, and the 7th shadiest named run at White Pass. Its top sits at 5,080 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.
