Black diamond Okemo, VT
Ledges drops 511 vertical feet over 2,101 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 28° about 380 feet below the top. That's steeper than 42% of the 4,740 black diamond runs we've measured in North America, and the 7th steepest of 124 named runs at Okemo. It faces east.
Facing east at an average 14°, Ledges gets about 97% of the winter sun that flat ground at Okemo does, December through March. That's sunnier than 68% of the runs we've measured, and the 75th sunniest named run at Okemo. Its top sits at 2,050 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.
