Black diamond Kissing Bridge, NY
Eagles Nest drops 53 vertical feet over 606 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 10° about 590 feet below the top. That's steeper than 0% of the 4,740 black diamond runs we've measured in North America, and the 30th steepest of 35 named runs at Kissing Bridge. It faces east.
Facing east at an average 5°, Eagles Nest gets about 93% of the winter sun that flat ground at Kissing Bridge does, December through March. That's sunnier than 64% of the runs we've measured, and the 13th sunniest named run at Kissing Bridge. Its top sits at 1,670 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.
