Blue Greek Peak, NY
Pipe Cutter drops 123 vertical feet over 933 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 19° about 420 feet below the top. That's steeper than 33% of the 5,615 blue runs we've measured in North America, and the 23rd steepest of 56 named runs at Greek Peak. It faces north.
Facing north at an average 8°, Pipe Cutter gets about 65% of the winter sun that flat ground at Greek Peak does, December through March. That's shadier than 78% of the runs we've measured, and the 3rd shadiest named run at Greek Peak. Its top sits at 1,950 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.
