Green Holiday Valley, NY
Boomerang drops 93 vertical feet over 702 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 10° about 370 feet below the top. That's steeper than 20% of the 3,109 green runs we've measured in North America, and the 68th steepest of 74 named runs at Holiday Valley. It faces southeast.
Facing southeast at an average 8°, Boomerang gets about 116% of the winter sun that flat ground at Holiday Valley does, December through March. That's sunnier than 84% of the runs we've measured, and the 2nd sunniest named run at Holiday Valley. Its top sits at 1,830 feet.
Angled toward the low winter sun, it bakes: powder turns heavy soon after a storm, and in spring it softens early in the day and refreezes hard overnight. Shading from ridges and trees isn't counted yet.
