Gobbler Glade drops 138 vertical feet over 402 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 25° about 30 feet below the top. That's steeper than 23% of the 4,740 black diamond runs we've measured in North America, and the 12th steepest of 74 named runs at Holiday Valley. It faces north.
Facing north at an average 20°, Gobbler Glade gets about 52% of the winter sun that flat ground at Holiday Valley does, December through March. That's shadier than 92% of the runs we've measured, and the shadiest named run at Holiday Valley. Its top sits at 2,090 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.
