Black diamond Mount Snow, VT
Beartrap drops 380 vertical feet over 1,375 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 27° about 530 feet below the top. That's steeper than 34% of the 4,740 black diamond runs we've measured in North America, and the 12th steepest of 86 named runs at Mount Snow. It faces southwest.
Facing southwest at an average 16°, Beartrap gets about 134% of the winter sun that flat ground at Mount Snow does, December through March. That's sunnier than 94% of the runs we've measured, and the sunniest named run at Mount Snow. Its top sits at 3,070 feet.
Angled toward the low winter sun, it bakes: powder turns heavy soon after a storm, and in spring it softens early in the day and refreezes hard overnight. Shading from ridges and trees isn't counted yet.
