Backwoods drops 716 vertical feet over 4,563 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 19° about 3,360 feet below the top. That's steeper than 30% of the 5,615 blue runs we've measured in North America, and the 69th steepest of 107 named runs at Gore Mountain. It faces northeast.
Facing northeast at an average 9°, Backwoods gets about 83% of the winter sun that flat ground at Gore Mountain does, December through March. That's shadier than 50% of the runs we've measured, and the 30th shadiest named run at Gore Mountain. Its top sits at 2,720 feet.
It gets an ordinary dose of sun: powder lasts a typical amount of time, and spring snow softens on a normal schedule. Shading from ridges and trees isn't counted yet.
