Double black Hunter Mountain, NY
Annapurna drops 1,266 vertical feet over 4,060 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 32° about 1,620 feet below the top. That's steeper than 31% of the 2,251 double black runs we've measured in North America, and the 3rd steepest of 54 named runs at Hunter Mountain. It faces northwest.
Facing northwest at an average 18°, Annapurna gets about 73% of the winter sun that flat ground at Hunter Mountain does, December through March. That's shadier than 66% of the runs we've measured, and the 11th shadiest named run at Hunter Mountain. Its top sits at 3,180 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.
