Sachem drops 960 vertical feet over 6,338 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 19° about 370 feet below the top. That's steeper than 81% of the 3,109 green runs we've measured in North America, and the 71st steepest of 124 named runs at Okemo. It faces east.

How well Sachem holds snow

Snow preservationBelow average

Facing east at an average 9°, Sachem gets about 104% of the winter sun that flat ground at Okemo does, December through March. That's sunnier than 75% of the runs we've measured, and the 58th sunniest named run at Okemo. Its top sits at 2,340 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.
