Blue Greek Peak, NY
Lower Thanatos Glade drops 286 vertical feet over 1,314 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 18° about 190 feet below the top. That's steeper than 25% of the 5,615 blue runs we've measured in North America, and the 27th steepest of 56 named runs at Greek Peak. It faces northeast.
Facing northeast at an average 13°, Lower Thanatos Glade 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 16th shadiest named run at Greek Peak. Its top sits at 1,700 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.
