Blue Seven Springs, PA
Blitzen Slope drops 296 vertical feet over 1,603 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 26° about 1,220 feet below the top. That's steeper than 81% of the 5,615 blue runs we've measured in North America, and the 11th steepest of 47 named runs at Seven Springs. It faces east.
Facing east at an average 11°, Blitzen Slope gets about 94% of the winter sun that flat ground at Seven Springs does, December through March. That's sunnier than 65% of the runs we've measured, and the 12th sunniest named run at Seven Springs. Its top sits at 2,950 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.
