Atlas drops 126 vertical feet over 555 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 20° about 260 feet below the top. That's steeper than 7% of the 4,740 black diamond runs we've measured in North America, and the 20th steepest of 56 named runs at Greek Peak. It faces northeast.

How well Atlas holds snow

Snow preservationGood

Facing northeast at an average 13°, Atlas gets about 75% of the winter sun that flat ground at Greek Peak does, December through March. That's shadier than 62% of the runs we've measured, and the 19th shadiest named run at Greek Peak. Its top sits at 2,090 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.
