Blue Hunter Mountain, NY
7th Avenue drops 362 vertical feet over 1,390 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 22° about 560 feet below the top. That's steeper than 57% of the 5,615 blue runs we've measured in North America, and the 26th steepest of 54 named runs at Hunter Mountain. It faces southeast.
Facing southeast at an average 15°, 7th Avenue gets about 118% of the winter sun that flat ground at Hunter Mountain does, December through March. That's sunnier than 86% of the runs we've measured, and the 6th sunniest named run at Hunter Mountain. Its top sits at 2,540 feet.
Angled toward the low winter sun, it bakes: powder turns heavy soon after a storm, and in spring it softens early in the day and refreezes hard overnight. Shading from ridges and trees isn't counted yet.
