Blue Hunter Mountain, NY
Madison Avenue drops 258 vertical feet over 1,187 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 19° about 670 feet below the top. That's steeper than 32% of the 5,615 blue runs we've measured in North America, and the 40th steepest of 54 named runs at Hunter Mountain. It faces northeast.
Facing northeast at an average 13°, Madison Avenue gets about 74% of the winter sun that flat ground at Hunter Mountain does, December through March. That's shadier than 64% of the runs we've measured, and the 14th shadiest named run at Hunter Mountain. Its top sits at 2,080 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.
