Green Holiday Valley, NY
Laurel drops 113 vertical feet over 766 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 14° about 560 feet below the top. That's steeper than 46% of the 3,109 green runs we've measured in North America, and the 56th steepest of 74 named runs at Holiday Valley. It faces north.
Facing north at an average 10°, Laurel gets about 68% of the winter sun that flat ground at Holiday Valley does, December through March. That's shadier than 75% of the runs we've measured, and the 21st shadiest named run at Holiday Valley. Its top sits at 2,130 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.
