Black diamond Killington, VT
Wildfire drops 1,170 vertical feet over 4,184 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 26° about 1,610 feet below the top. That's steeper than 32% of the 4,740 black diamond runs we've measured in North America, and the 50th steepest of 154 named runs at Killington. It faces east.
Facing east at an average 16°, Wildfire gets about 96% of the winter sun that flat ground at Killington does, December through March. That's sunnier than 67% of the runs we've measured, and the 64th sunniest named run at Killington. Its top sits at 3,250 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.
