Green Okemo, VT
Switchback drops 154 vertical feet over 978 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 15° about 720 feet below the top. That's steeper than 54% of the 3,109 green runs we've measured in North America, and the 97th steepest of 124 named runs at Okemo. It faces east.
Facing east at an average 9°, Switchback gets about 92% of the winter sun that flat ground at Okemo does, December through March. That's sunnier than 63% of the runs we've measured, and the 85th 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.
