Which Way Glades drops 477 vertical feet over 1,277 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 29° about 430 feet below the top. That's steeper than 21% of the 2,251 double black runs we've measured in North America, and the 9th steepest of 54 named runs at Hunter Mountain. It faces west.
Facing west at an average 22°, Which Way Glades gets about 99% of the winter sun that flat ground at Hunter Mountain does, December through March. That's sunnier than 70% of the runs we've measured, and the 15th sunniest named run at Hunter Mountain. Its top sits at 2,470 feet.
With little slope to hide behind, it takes nearly the full winter sun of open ground: powder settles and turns heavy sooner after a storm, and spring snow softens early. Shading from ridges and trees isn't counted yet.
