Blue Burke Mountain, VT
Mountain Marsh drops 294 vertical feet over 1,305 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 26° about 420 feet below the top. That's steeper than 82% of the 5,615 blue runs we've measured in North America, and the 22nd steepest of 56 named runs at Burke Mountain. It faces north.
Facing north at an average 13°, Mountain Marsh gets about 55% of the winter sun that flat ground at Burke Mountain does, December through March. That's shadier than 90% of the runs we've measured, and the 11th shadiest named run at Burke Mountain. Its top sits at 2,490 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.
