Green Greek Peak, NY
Castor Connection drops 42 vertical feet over 573 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 8° about 10 feet below the top. That's steeper than 12% of the 3,109 green runs we've measured in North America, and the 54th steepest of 56 named runs at Greek Peak. It faces east.
Facing east at an average 4°, Castor Connection gets about 100% of the winter sun that flat ground at Greek Peak does, December through March. That's sunnier than 71% of the runs we've measured, and the 3rd sunniest named run at Greek Peak. Its top sits at 1,620 feet.
With little slope to hide behind, it takes nearly the full winter sun of open ground: powder settles and turns heavy sooner after a storm, and spring snow softens early. Shading from ridges and trees isn't counted yet.
