Blue Hunter Mountain, NY
Lower Highlands drops 297 vertical feet over 1,223 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 20° about 730 feet below the top. That's steeper than 41% of the 5,615 blue runs we've measured in North America, and the 35th steepest of 54 named runs at Hunter Mountain. It faces north.
Facing north at an average 14°, Lower Highlands gets about 66% of the winter sun that flat ground at Hunter Mountain does, December through March. That's shadier than 78% of the runs we've measured, and the 8th shadiest named run at Hunter Mountain. Its top sits at 2,140 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.
