Blue Whitecap Mountains, WI
Schatzy's Way drops 161 vertical feet over 842 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 21° about 490 feet below the top. That's steeper than 45% of the 5,615 blue runs we've measured in North America, and the 19th steepest of 48 named runs at Whitecap Mountains. It faces northwest.
Facing northwest at an average 11°, Schatzy's Way gets about 70% of the winter sun that flat ground at Whitecap Mountains does, December through March. That's shadier than 71% of the runs we've measured, and the 5th shadiest named run at Whitecap Mountains. Its top sits at 1,710 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.
