Black diamond Pine Mountain, MI
Upper Oak drops 93 vertical feet over 718 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 18° about 10 feet below the top. That's steeper than 5% of the 4,740 black diamond runs we've measured in North America, and the 7th steepest of 33 named runs at Pine Mountain. It faces northeast.
Facing northeast at an average 8°, Upper Oak gets about 81% of the winter sun that flat ground at Pine Mountain does, December through March. That's shadier than 53% of the runs we've measured, and the 23rd shadiest named run at Pine Mountain. Its top sits at 1,500 feet.
It gets an ordinary dose of sun: powder lasts a typical amount of time, and spring snow softens on a normal schedule. Shading from ridges and trees isn't counted yet.
