Double black Holiday Valley, NY
The Wall drops 185 vertical feet over 417 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 38° about 140 feet below the top. That's steeper than 60% of the 2,251 double black runs we've measured in North America, and the 1st steepest of 74 named runs at Holiday Valley. It faces northeast.
Facing northeast at an average 27°, The Wall gets about 73% of the winter sun that flat ground at Holiday Valley does, December through March. That's shadier than 67% of the runs we've measured, and the 32nd shadiest named run at Holiday Valley. Its top sits at 1,880 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.
