Black diamond Gore Mountain, NY
Abenaki Glades drops 580 vertical feet over 2,658 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 28° about 1,580 feet below the top. That's steeper than 47% of the 4,740 black diamond runs we've measured in North America, and the 18th steepest of 107 named runs at Gore Mountain. It faces north.
Facing north at an average 13°, Abenaki Glades gets about 58% of the winter sun that flat ground at Gore Mountain does, December through March. That's shadier than 86% of the runs we've measured, and the 4th shadiest named run at Gore Mountain. Its top sits at 2,710 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.
