Supernova drops 945 vertical feet over 3,468 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 33° about 1,350 feet below the top. That's steeper than 35% of the 2,251 double black runs we've measured in North America, and the 1st steepest of 124 named runs at Okemo. It faces east.

How well Supernova holds snow

Snow preservationBelow average

Facing east at an average 16°, Supernova 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 77th sunniest named run at Okemo. Its top sits at 2,500 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.
