Black diamond Labrador Mountain, NY
Midnight Express drops 611 vertical feet over 2,907 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 21° about 1,250 feet below the top. That's steeper than 9% of the 4,740 black diamond runs we've measured in North America, and the 11th steepest of 22 named runs at Labrador Mountain. It faces east.
Facing east at an average 12°, Midnight Express gets about 100% of the winter sun that flat ground at Labrador Mountain does, December through March. That's sunnier than 72% of the runs we've measured, and the 3rd sunniest named run at Labrador Mountain. Its top sits at 1,850 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.
