Zeus drops 397 vertical feet over 1,547 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 28° about 620 feet below the top. That's steeper than 41% of the 4,740 black diamond runs we've measured in North America, and the 4th steepest of 56 named runs at Greek Peak. It faces north.

How well Zeus holds snow

Snow preservationGood

Facing north at an average 15°, Zeus gets about 65% of the winter sun that flat ground at Greek Peak does, December through March. That's shadier than 79% of the runs we've measured, and the 2nd shadiest named run at Greek Peak. Its top sits at 2,060 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.
