Black diamond Holiday Valley, NY
Yodeler drops 451 vertical feet over 1,471 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 25° about 380 feet below the top. That's steeper than 26% of the 4,740 black diamond runs we've measured in North America, and the 9th steepest of 74 named runs at Holiday Valley. It faces north.
Facing north at an average 18°, Yodeler gets about 55% of the winter sun that flat ground at Holiday Valley does, December through March. That's shadier than 89% of the runs we've measured, and the 7th shadiest named run at Holiday Valley. Its top sits at 2,230 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.
