Blue Snowshoe Mountain, WV
Laurel Run drops 107 vertical feet over 1,183 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 12° about 520 feet below the top. That's steeper than 5% of the 5,615 blue runs we've measured in North America, and the 54th steepest of 63 named runs at Snowshoe Mountain. It faces northeast.
Facing northeast at an average 6°, Laurel Run gets about 87% of the winter sun that flat ground at Snowshoe Mountain does, December through March. That's sunnier than 56% of the runs we've measured, and the 33rd sunniest named run at Snowshoe Mountain. Its top sits at 4,290 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.
