Competition drops 100 vertical feet over 622 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 15° about 110 feet below the top. That's steeper than 2% of the 4,740 black diamond runs we've measured in North America, and the 20th steepest of 22 named runs at White Pine. It faces north.
Facing north at an average 9°, Competition gets about 73% of the winter sun that flat ground at White Pine does, December through March. That's shadier than 66% of the runs we've measured, and the 14th shadiest named run at White Pine. Its top sits at 8,530 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.
