Green Greek Peak, NY
Marathon drops 120 vertical feet over 1,817 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 10° about 700 feet below the top. That's steeper than 21% of the 3,109 green runs we've measured in North America, and the 49th steepest of 56 named runs at Greek Peak. It faces northwest.
Facing northwest at an average 4°, Marathon gets about 93% of the winter sun that flat ground at Greek Peak does, December through March. That's sunnier than 63% of the runs we've measured, and the 6th sunniest named run at Greek Peak. Its top sits at 2,060 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.
