Black diamond Gore Mountain, NY
Tahawus Glades drops 346 vertical feet over 1,479 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 25° about 280 feet below the top. That's steeper than 24% of the 4,740 black diamond runs we've measured in North America, and the 34th steepest of 107 named runs at Gore Mountain. It faces northwest.
Facing northwest at an average 14°, Tahawus Glades gets about 71% of the winter sun that flat ground at Gore Mountain does, December through March. That's shadier than 70% of the runs we've measured, and the 15th shadiest named run at Gore Mountain. Its top sits at 2,630 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.
