Black diamond Okemo, VT
Sel's Choice drops 359 vertical feet over 1,195 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 24° about 220 feet below the top. That's steeper than 18% of the 4,740 black diamond runs we've measured in North America, and the 25th steepest of 124 named runs at Okemo. It faces east.
Facing east at an average 18°, Sel's Choice gets about 102% of the winter sun that flat ground at Okemo does, December through March. That's sunnier than 73% of the runs we've measured, and the 62nd sunniest named run at Okemo. Its top sits at 2,350 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.
