Blue Gore Mountain, NY
The Arena drops 196 vertical feet over 986 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 16° about 610 feet below the top. That's steeper than 19% of the 5,615 blue runs we've measured in North America, and the 79th steepest of 107 named runs at Gore Mountain. It faces east.
Facing east at an average 12°, The Arena gets about 108% of the winter sun that flat ground at Gore Mountain does, December through March. That's sunnier than 79% of the runs we've measured, and the 38th sunniest named run at Gore Mountain. Its top sits at 1,710 feet.
Angled toward the low winter sun, it bakes: powder turns heavy soon after a storm, and in spring it softens early in the day and refreezes hard overnight. Shading from ridges and trees isn't counted yet.
