Blue White Pass, WA
Vertigo drops 820 vertical feet over 3,815 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 25° about 1,960 feet below the top. That's steeper than 76% of the 5,615 blue runs we've measured in North America, and the 33rd steepest of 66 named runs at White Pass. It faces north.
Facing north at an average 13°, Vertigo gets about 65% of the winter sun that flat ground at White Pass does, December through March. That's shadier than 78% of the runs we've measured, and the 17th shadiest named run at White Pass. Its top sits at 6,520 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.
