Wall Bottom drops 91 vertical feet over 360 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 18° about 170 feet below the top. That's steeper than 5% of the 4,740 black diamond runs we've measured in North America, and the 32nd steepest of 74 named runs at Holiday Valley. It faces northeast.
Facing northeast at an average 15°, Wall Bottom gets about 72% of the winter sun that flat ground at Holiday Valley does, December through March. That's shadier than 68% of the runs we've measured, and the 31st shadiest named run at Holiday Valley. Its top sits at 1,620 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.
