Blue Snowshoe Mountain, WV
Gandy Dancer drops 335 vertical feet over 1,385 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 27° about 30 feet below the top. That's steeper than 87% of the 5,615 blue runs we've measured in North America, and the 7th steepest of 63 named runs at Snowshoe Mountain. It faces northeast.
Facing northeast at an average 14°, Gandy Dancer gets about 83% of the winter sun that flat ground at Snowshoe Mountain does, December through March. That's shadier than 50% of the runs we've measured, and the 22nd shadiest named run at Snowshoe Mountain. Its top sits at 4,690 feet.
It gets an ordinary dose of sun: powder lasts a typical amount of time, and spring snow softens on a normal schedule. Shading from ridges and trees isn't counted yet.
