Blue Whitecap Mountains, WI
Charmonix drops 318 vertical feet over 2,025 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 20° about 1,120 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 northwest.
Facing northwest at an average 9°, Charmonix gets about 77% of the winter sun that flat ground at Whitecap Mountains does, December through March. That's shadier than 60% of the runs we've measured, and the 13th 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.
