Blue Willamette, OR
Swoosh drops 656 vertical feet over 2,884 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 19° about 2,260 feet below the top. That's steeper than 35% of the 5,615 blue runs we've measured in North America, and the 21st steepest of 30 named runs at Willamette. It faces west.
Facing west at an average 13°, Swoosh gets about 110% of the winter sun that flat ground at Willamette does, December through March. That's sunnier than 80% of the runs we've measured, and the 20th sunniest named run at Willamette. Its top sits at 5,890 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.
