Kitchen Wall drops 368 vertical feet over 1,094 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 41° about 310 feet below the top. That's steeper than 74% of the 2,251 double black runs we've measured in North America, and the 1st steepest of 34 named runs at Hemlock Resort. It faces northeast.
Facing northeast at an average 20°, Kitchen Wall gets about 75% of the winter sun that flat ground at Hemlock Resort does, December through March. That's shadier than 62% of the runs we've measured, and the 4th shadiest named run at Hemlock Resort. Its top sits at 3,750 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.
