Black diamond Sugarbush, VT
Eden drops 357 vertical feet over 1,128 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 25° about 370 feet below the top. That's steeper than 23% of the 4,740 black diamond runs we've measured in North America, and the 52nd steepest of 120 named runs at Sugarbush. It faces northeast.
Facing northeast at an average 19°, Eden gets about 59% of the winter sun that flat ground at Sugarbush does, December through March. That's shadier than 85% of the runs we've measured, and the 34th shadiest named run at Sugarbush. Its top sits at 2,370 feet.
Shaded snow stays colder and drier, so it holds powder longer after a storm and is slower to crust over or turn to slush in spring. Shading from ridges and trees isn't counted yet.
