Black diamond Gore Mountain, NY
Uncas drops 521 vertical feet over 2,534 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 25° about 1,630 feet below the top. That's steeper than 22% of the 4,740 black diamond runs we've measured in North America, and the 37th steepest of 107 named runs at Gore Mountain. It faces south.
Facing south at an average 12°, Uncas gets about 127% of the winter sun that flat ground at Gore Mountain does, December through March. That's sunnier than 91% of the runs we've measured, and the 8th sunniest named run at Gore Mountain. Its top sits at 3,210 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.
