Bad Gastein drops 324 vertical feet over 1,923 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 18° about 1,000 feet below the top. That's steeper than 27% of the 5,615 blue runs we've measured in North America, and the 29th steepest of 48 named runs at Whitecap Mountains. It faces north.
Facing north at an average 10°, Bad Gastein gets about 71% of the winter sun that flat ground at Whitecap Mountains does, December through March. That's shadier than 69% of the runs we've measured, and the 6th 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.
