Double black Shawness Peak, ME
Cody's Caper drops 184 vertical feet over 667 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 24° about 10 feet below the top. That's steeper than 10% of the 2,251 double black runs we've measured in North America, and the 7th steepest of 42 named runs at Shawness Peak. It faces east.
Facing east at an average 16°, Cody's Caper gets about 93% of the winter sun that flat ground at Shawness Peak does, December through March. That's sunnier than 64% of the runs we've measured, and the 9th sunniest named run at Shawness Peak. Its top sits at 1,540 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.
