Double black (off-piste) Okemo, VT
Tree Tap drops 17 vertical feet over 218 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 11° about 200 feet below the top. That's steeper than 1% of the 2,251 double black runs we've measured in North America, and the 116th steepest of 124 named runs at Okemo. It faces east.
Facing east at an average 5°, Tree Tap gets about 99% of the winter sun that flat ground at Okemo does, December through March. That's sunnier than 70% of the runs we've measured, and the 71st sunniest named run at Okemo. Its top sits at 1,200 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.
