Black diamond Gore Mountain, NY
Hawkeye drops 630 vertical feet over 2,086 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 30° about 900 feet below the top. That's steeper than 58% of the 4,740 black diamond runs we've measured in North America, and the 11th steepest of 107 named runs at Gore Mountain. It faces east.
Facing east at an average 18°, Hawkeye gets about 95% of the winter sun that flat ground at Gore Mountain does, December through March. That's sunnier than 66% of the runs we've measured, and the 62nd sunniest named run at Gore Mountain. Its top sits at 3,570 feet.
With little slope to hide behind, it takes nearly the full winter sun of open ground: powder settles and turns heavy sooner after a storm, and spring snow softens early. Shading from ridges and trees isn't counted yet.
