Green Gore Mountain, NY
Lower Sunway drops 486 vertical feet over 3,533 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 16° about 10 feet below the top. That's steeper than 60% of the 3,109 green runs we've measured in North America, and the 85th steepest of 107 named runs at Gore Mountain. It faces east.
Facing east at an average 8°, Lower Sunway gets about 104% of the winter sun that flat ground at Gore Mountain does, December through March. That's sunnier than 75% of the runs we've measured, and the 45th sunniest named run at Gore Mountain. Its top sits at 2,030 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.
