Blue Holiday Valley, NY
Ballet drops 108 vertical feet over 569 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 14° about 90 feet below the top. That's steeper than 10% of the 5,615 blue runs we've measured in North America, and the 55th steepest of 74 named runs at Holiday Valley. It faces northeast.
Facing northeast at an average 11°, Ballet gets about 77% of the winter sun that flat ground at Holiday Valley does, December through March. That's shadier than 60% of the runs we've measured, and the 43rd shadiest named run at Holiday Valley. Its top sits at 2,230 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.
