Black diamond Snowshoe Mountain, WV
Shay's Revenge drops 618 vertical feet over 2,598 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 21° about 1,330 feet below the top. That's steeper than 10% of the 4,740 black diamond runs we've measured in North America, and the 21st steepest of 63 named runs at Snowshoe Mountain. It faces west.
Facing west at an average 14°, Shay's Revenge gets about 93% of the winter sun that flat ground at Snowshoe Mountain does, December through March. That's sunnier than 63% of the runs we've measured, and the 28th sunniest named run at Snowshoe Mountain. Its top sits at 4,700 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.
