Green Whitecap Mountains, WI
Gstaad drops 250 vertical feet over 2,186 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 16° about 850 feet below the top. That's steeper than 63% of the 3,109 green runs we've measured in North America, and the 34th steepest of 48 named runs at Whitecap Mountains. It faces north.
Facing north at an average 7°, Gstaad gets about 75% of the winter sun that flat ground at Whitecap Mountains does, December through March. That's shadier than 63% of the runs we've measured, and the 11th shadiest named run at Whitecap Mountains. Its top sits at 1,700 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.
