Green Berkshire East, MA
Riva Ridge drops 184 vertical feet over 1,946 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 12° about 1,770 feet below the top. That's steeper than 31% of the 3,109 green runs we've measured in North America, and the 37th steepest of 40 named runs at Berkshire East. It faces west.
Facing west at an average 5°, Riva Ridge gets about 101% of the winter sun that flat ground at Berkshire East does, December through March. That's sunnier than 73% of the runs we've measured, and the 3rd sunniest named run at Berkshire East. Its top sits at 1,480 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.
