Black diamond Mount Snow, VT
Pat's Pitch drops 178 vertical feet over 873 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 24° about 770 feet below the top. That's steeper than 19% of the 4,740 black diamond runs we've measured in North America, and the 22nd steepest of 86 named runs at Mount Snow. It faces east.
Facing east at an average 12°, Pat's Pitch gets about 98% of the winter sun that flat ground at Mount Snow does, December through March. That's sunnier than 69% of the runs we've measured, and the 26th sunniest named run at Mount Snow. Its top sits at 2,550 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.
