Sasquatch drops 336 vertical feet over 2,690 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 20° about 2,430 feet below the top. That's steeper than 41% of the 5,615 blue runs we've measured in North America, and the 95th steepest of 131 named runs at Wolf Creek. It faces east.

How well Sasquatch holds snow

Snow preservationBelow average

Facing east at an average 7°, Sasquatch gets about 94% of the winter sun that flat ground at Wolf Creek does, December through March. That's sunnier than 65% of the runs we've measured, and the 30th sunniest named run at Wolf Creek. Its top sits at 10,600 feet.

With little slope to hide behind, it takes nearly the full winter sun of open ground: powder settles and turns heavy sooner after a storm, and spring snow softens early. Shading from ridges and trees isn't counted yet.
