Black diamond White Pass, WA
Roller Cliff drops 328 vertical feet over 689 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 33° about 70 feet below the top. That's steeper than 78% of the 4,740 black diamond runs we've measured in North America, and the 13th steepest of 66 named runs at White Pass. It faces north.
Facing north at an average 29°, Roller Cliff gets about 30% of the winter sun that flat ground at White Pass does, December through March. That's shadier than 100% of the runs we've measured, and the shadiest named run at White Pass. Its top sits at 5,340 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.
