Lower Sky Pilot drops 302 vertical feet over 1,311 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 18° about 660 feet below the top. That's steeper than 25% of the 5,615 blue runs we've measured in North America, and the 13th steepest of 22 named runs at White Pine. It faces northwest.
Facing northwest at an average 13°, Lower Sky Pilot gets about 69% of the winter sun that flat ground at White Pine does, December through March. That's shadier than 72% of the runs we've measured, and the 13th shadiest named run at White Pine. Its top sits at 8,890 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.
