Black diamond Greek Peak, NY
Lower Freebird drops 126 vertical feet over 781 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 16° about 180 feet below the top. That's steeper than 3% of the 4,740 black diamond runs we've measured in North America, and the 29th steepest of 56 named runs at Greek Peak. It faces northeast.
Facing northeast at an average 9°, Lower Freebird gets about 73% of the winter sun that flat ground at Greek Peak does, December through March. That's shadier than 66% of the runs we've measured, and the 13th shadiest named run at Greek Peak. Its top sits at 1,670 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.
