Green Whitecap Mountains, WI
Hintertux drops 251 vertical feet over 3,046 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 11° about 2,810 feet below the top. That's steeper than 25% of the 3,109 green runs we've measured in North America, and the 48th steepest of 48 named runs at Whitecap Mountains. It faces northeast.
Facing northeast at an average 5°, Hintertux 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.
