Green Mount Snow, VT
Bear Paw drops 109 vertical feet over 577 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 15° about 390 feet below the top. That's steeper than 55% of the 3,109 green runs we've measured in North America, and the 75th steepest of 86 named runs at Mount Snow. It faces northeast.
Facing northeast at an average 11°, Bear Paw gets about 77% of the winter sun that flat ground at Mount Snow does, December through March. That's shadier than 60% of the runs we've measured, and the 20th shadiest named run at Mount Snow. Its top sits at 3,070 feet.
Shaded snow stays colder and drier, so it holds powder longer after a storm and is slower to crust over or turn to slush in spring. Shading from ridges and trees isn't counted yet.
