Green Snowshoe Mountain, WV
Whiffletree drops 168 vertical feet over 1,606 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 13° about 360 feet below the top. That's steeper than 40% of the 3,109 green runs we've measured in North America, and the 49th steepest of 63 named runs at Snowshoe Mountain. It faces east.
Facing east at an average 6°, Whiffletree gets about 94% of the winter sun that flat ground at Snowshoe Mountain does, December through March. That's sunnier than 65% of the runs we've measured, and the 22nd sunniest named run at Snowshoe Mountain. Its top sits at 4,240 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.
