Black diamond Greek Peak, NY
Alcmene drops 682 vertical feet over 2,891 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 20° about 500 feet below the top. That's steeper than 7% of the 4,740 black diamond runs we've measured in North America, and the 21st steepest of 56 named runs at Greek Peak. It faces northeast.
Facing northeast at an average 14°, Alcmene gets about 75% of the winter sun that flat ground at Greek Peak does, December through March. That's shadier than 63% of the runs we've measured, and the 17th shadiest named run at Greek Peak. Its top sits at 2,070 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.
