Black diamond Gore Mountain, NY
Fairview drops 228 vertical feet over 1,162 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 29° about 500 feet below the top. That's steeper than 53% of the 4,740 black diamond runs we've measured in North America, and the 15th steepest of 107 named runs at Gore Mountain. It faces northwest.
Facing northwest at an average 12°, Fairview gets about 63% of the winter sun that flat ground at Gore Mountain does, December through March. That's shadier than 81% of the runs we've measured, and the 7th shadiest named run at Gore Mountain. Its top sits at 3,210 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.
