Black diamond Hunter Mountain, NY
Overlook drops 642 vertical feet over 2,051 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 27° about 780 feet below the top. That's steeper than 33% of the 4,740 black diamond runs we've measured in North America, and the 15th steepest of 54 named runs at Hunter Mountain. It faces northwest.
Facing northwest at an average 18°, Overlook gets about 61% of the winter sun that flat ground at Hunter Mountain does, December through March. That's shadier than 83% of the runs we've measured, and the 5th shadiest named run at Hunter Mountain. Its top sits at 2,520 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.
