Green Snowshoe Mountain, WV
Gangway drops 196 vertical feet over 1,472 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 17° about 920 feet below the top. That's steeper than 69% of the 3,109 green runs we've measured in North America, and the 33rd steepest of 63 named runs at Snowshoe Mountain. It faces east.
Facing east at an average 8°, Gangway gets about 103% of the winter sun that flat ground at Snowshoe Mountain does, December through March. That's sunnier than 74% of the runs we've measured, and the 12th sunniest named run at Snowshoe Mountain. Its top sits at 4,660 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.
