Barkeater Glades drops 789 vertical feet over 3,704 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 31° about 2,120 feet below the top. That's steeper than 62% of the 4,740 black diamond runs we've measured in North America, and the 10th steepest of 107 named runs at Gore Mountain. It faces northeast.
Facing northeast at an average 13°, Barkeater Glades gets about 72% of the winter sun that flat ground at Gore Mountain does, December through March. That's shadier than 68% of the runs we've measured, and the 17th shadiest named run at Gore Mountain. Its top sits at 2,730 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.
