Black diamond Hunter Mountain, NY
Way In drops 145 vertical feet over 438 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 23° about 270 feet below the top. That's steeper than 14% of the 4,740 black diamond runs we've measured in North America, and the 25th steepest of 54 named runs at Hunter Mountain. It faces northwest.
Facing northwest at an average 19°, Way In gets about 60% of the winter sun that flat ground at Hunter Mountain does, December through March. That's shadier than 85% of the runs we've measured, and the 4th shadiest named run at Hunter Mountain. Its top sits at 2,770 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.
