Black diamond Mount Snow, VT
Jaws drops 709 vertical feet over 1,996 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 30° about 950 feet below the top. That's steeper than 60% of the 4,740 black diamond runs we've measured in North America, and the 4th steepest of 86 named runs at Mount Snow. It faces north.
Facing north at an average 21°, Jaws gets about 47% of the winter sun that flat ground at Mount Snow does, December through March. That's shadier than 95% of the runs we've measured, and the 3rd shadiest named run at Mount Snow. Its top sits at 3,380 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.
