Black diamond Mount Snow, VT
Little Steep drops 140 vertical feet over 425 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 33° about 110 feet below the top. That's steeper than 75% of the 4,740 black diamond runs we've measured in North America, and the 2nd steepest of 86 named runs at Mount Snow. It faces northeast.
Facing northeast at an average 20°, Little Steep gets about 58% of the winter sun that flat ground at Mount Snow does, December through March. That's shadier than 86% of the runs we've measured, and the 10th shadiest named run at Mount Snow. Its top sits at 2,800 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.
