Black diamond Kissing Bridge, NY
Outside Edge drops 324 vertical feet over 2,002 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 20° about 1,010 feet below the top. That's steeper than 8% of the 4,740 black diamond runs we've measured in North America, and the 5th steepest of 35 named runs at Kissing Bridge. It faces east.
Facing east at an average 9°, Outside Edge gets about 97% of the winter sun that flat ground at Kissing Bridge does, December through March. That's sunnier than 68% of the runs we've measured, and the 6th sunniest named run at Kissing Bridge. Its top sits at 1,700 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.
