Blue Willamette, OR
Southbound drops 194 vertical feet over 1,154 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 16° about 1,120 feet below the top. That's steeper than 19% of the 5,615 blue runs we've measured in North America, and the 23rd steepest of 30 named runs at Willamette. It faces southeast.
Facing southeast at an average 10°, Southbound gets about 128% of the winter sun that flat ground at Willamette does, December through March. That's sunnier than 91% of the runs we've measured, and the 7th sunniest named run at Willamette. Its top sits at 6,670 feet.
Angled toward the low winter sun, it bakes: powder turns heavy soon after a storm, and in spring it softens early in the day and refreezes hard overnight. Shading from ridges and trees isn't counted yet.
