Blue Greek Peak, NY
Upper Pollux drops 99 vertical feet over 774 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 10° about 30 feet below the top. That's steeper than 3% of the 5,615 blue runs we've measured in North America, and the 50th steepest of 56 named runs at Greek Peak. It faces east.
Facing east at an average 7°, Upper Pollux gets about 94% of the winter sun that flat ground at Greek Peak does, December through March. That's sunnier than 65% of the runs we've measured, and the 5th sunniest named run at Greek Peak. Its top sits at 2,040 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.
