Black diamond Okemo, VT
Eclipse drops 869 vertical feet over 3,474 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 27° about 1,200 feet below the top. That's steeper than 36% of the 4,740 black diamond runs we've measured in North America, and the 9th steepest of 124 named runs at Okemo. It faces east.
Facing east at an average 15°, Eclipse gets about 98% of the winter sun that flat ground at Okemo does, December through March. That's sunnier than 69% of the runs we've measured, and the 74th sunniest named run at Okemo. Its top sits at 2,400 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.
