Upper Warren's Way drops 515 vertical feet over 1,299 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 29° about 690 feet below the top. That's steeper than 49% of the 4,740 black diamond runs we've measured in North America, and the 9th steepest of 56 named runs at Burke Mountain. It faces northwest.
Facing northwest at an average 24°, Upper Warren's Way gets about 51% of the winter sun that flat ground at Burke Mountain does, December through March. That's shadier than 92% of the runs we've measured, and the 5th shadiest named run at Burke Mountain. Its top sits at 2,800 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.
