Blue White Pass, WA
This Way drops 197 vertical feet over 1,126 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 22° about 850 feet below the top. That's steeper than 52% of the 5,615 blue runs we've measured in North America, and the 41st steepest of 66 named runs at White Pass. It faces north.
Facing north at an average 10°, This Way gets about 69% of the winter sun that flat ground at White Pass does, December through March. That's shadier than 72% of the runs we've measured, and the 23rd shadiest named run at White Pass. Its top sits at 6,190 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.
