Widowmaker drops 498 vertical feet over 1,785 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 27° about 580 feet below the top. That's steeper than 35% of the 4,740 black diamond runs we've measured in North America, and the 9th steepest of 63 named runs at Snowshoe Mountain. It faces northeast.
Facing northeast at an average 16°, Widowmaker gets about 79% of the winter sun that flat ground at Snowshoe Mountain does, December through March. That's shadier than 57% of the runs we've measured, and the 15th shadiest named run at Snowshoe Mountain. Its top sits at 4,770 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.
