Blue Whitecap Mountains, WI
Alpine Junction drops 315 vertical feet over 1,965 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 20° about 420 feet below the top. That's steeper than 42% of the 5,615 blue runs we've measured in North America, and the 20th steepest of 48 named runs at Whitecap Mountains. It faces north.
Facing north at an average 9°, Alpine Junction gets about 74% of the winter sun that flat ground at Whitecap Mountains does, December through March. That's shadier than 65% of the runs we've measured, and the 9th shadiest named run at Whitecap Mountains. Its top sits at 1,770 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.
