Green Snowshoe Mountain, WV
Cut-off drops 34 vertical feet over 331 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 10° about 260 feet below the top. That's steeper than 20% of the 3,109 green runs we've measured in North America, and the 60th steepest of 63 named runs at Snowshoe Mountain. It faces east.
Facing east at an average 6°, Cut-off gets about 104% of the winter sun that flat ground at Snowshoe Mountain does, December through March. That's sunnier than 75% of the runs we've measured, and the 11th sunniest named run at Snowshoe Mountain. Its top sits at 4,170 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.
