Double black Greek Peak, NY
Spartan drops 444 vertical feet over 1,948 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 23° about 720 feet below the top. That's steeper than 8% of the 2,251 double black runs we've measured in North America, and the 9th steepest of 56 named runs at Greek Peak. It faces northeast.
Facing northeast at an average 14°, Spartan gets about 55% of the winter sun that flat ground at Greek Peak does, December through March. That's shadier than 89% of the runs we've measured, and the shadiest named run at Greek Peak. Its top sits at 2,010 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.
