Green Seven Springs, PA
Great Western Trail drops 108 vertical feet over 958 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 9° about 50 feet below the top. That's steeper than 14% of the 3,109 green runs we've measured in North America, and the 45th steepest of 47 named runs at Seven Springs. It faces west.
Facing west at an average 7°, Great Western Trail gets about 98% of the winter sun that flat ground at Seven Springs does, December through March. That's sunnier than 69% of the runs we've measured, and the 10th sunniest named run at Seven Springs. Its top sits at 2,890 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.
