Black diamond Kissing Bridge, NY
Moment Of Truth drops 299 vertical feet over 1,480 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 21° about 1,190 feet below the top. That's steeper than 9% of the 4,740 black diamond runs we've measured in North America, and the 4th steepest of 35 named runs at Kissing Bridge. It faces east.
Facing east at an average 12°, Moment Of Truth gets about 94% of the winter sun that flat ground at Kissing Bridge does, December through March. That's sunnier than 65% of the runs we've measured, and the 12th sunniest named run at Kissing Bridge. Its top sits at 1,630 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.
