Black diamond Burke Mountain, VT
Y-Knot drops 192 vertical feet over 633 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 29° about 200 feet below the top. That's steeper than 48% of the 4,740 black diamond runs we've measured in North America, and the 10th steepest of 56 named runs at Burke Mountain. It faces north.
Facing north at an average 18°, Y-Knot gets about 53% of the winter sun that flat ground at Burke Mountain does, December through March. That's shadier than 91% of the runs we've measured, and the 6th shadiest named run at Burke Mountain. Its top sits at 2,220 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.
