Double black Seven Springs, PA
Turtle Claw Glades drops 133 vertical feet over 728 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 24° about 670 feet below the top. That's steeper than 10% of the 2,251 double black runs we've measured in North America, and the 16th steepest of 47 named runs at Seven Springs. It faces north.
Facing north at an average 11°, Turtle Claw Glades gets about 74% of the winter sun that flat ground at Seven Springs does, December through March. That's shadier than 65% of the runs we've measured, and the 21st shadiest named run at Seven Springs. Its top sits at 2,660 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.
