Double black Seven Springs, PA
Alpine Meadows Glades drops 307 vertical feet over 1,248 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 21° about 510 feet below the top. That's steeper than 6% of the 2,251 double black runs we've measured in North America, and the 25th steepest of 47 named runs at Seven Springs. It faces east.
Facing east at an average 14°, Alpine Meadows Glades gets about 110% of the winter sun that flat ground at Seven Springs does, December through March. That's sunnier than 80% of the runs we've measured, and the 5th sunniest named run at Seven Springs. Its top sits at 2,840 feet.
Angled toward the low winter sun, it bakes: powder turns heavy soon after a storm, and in spring it softens early in the day and refreezes hard overnight. Shading from ridges and trees isn't counted yet.
