Double black Seven Springs, PA
Avalanche Glades drops 280 vertical feet over 915 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 25° about 450 feet below the top. That's steeper than 12% of the 2,251 double black runs we've measured in North America, and the 12th steepest of 47 named runs at Seven Springs. It faces northeast.
Facing northeast at an average 18°, Avalanche Glades gets about 70% of the winter sun that flat ground at Seven Springs does, December through March. That's shadier than 71% of the runs we've measured, and the 17th shadiest named run at Seven Springs. Its top sits at 2,710 feet.
Shaded snow stays colder and drier, so it holds powder longer after a storm and is slower to crust over or turn to slush in spring. Shading from ridges and trees isn't counted yet.
