Black diamond Greek Peak, NY
Iliad drops 700 vertical feet over 2,911 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 21° about 720 feet below the top. That's steeper than 10% of the 4,740 black diamond runs we've measured in North America, and the 17th steepest of 56 named runs at Greek Peak. It faces northeast.
Facing northeast at an average 14°, Iliad gets about 73% of the winter sun that flat ground at Greek Peak does, December through March. That's shadier than 67% of the runs we've measured, and the 12th 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.
