Blue Greek Peak, NY
Medusa drops 221 vertical feet over 1,560 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 19° about 1,450 feet below the top. That's steeper than 35% of the 5,615 blue runs we've measured in North America, and the 22nd steepest of 56 named runs at Greek Peak. It faces northwest.
Facing northwest at an average 8°, Medusa gets about 75% of the winter sun that flat ground at Greek Peak does, December through March. That's shadier than 62% of the runs we've measured, and the 19th shadiest named run at Greek Peak. Its top sits at 1,940 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.
