Green Swain Resort, NY
Magic Mountain drops 7 vertical feet over 138 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 6° about 40 feet below the top. That's steeper than 5% of the 3,109 green runs we've measured in North America, and the 34th steepest of 35 named runs at Swain Resort. It faces northeast.
Facing northeast at an average 3°, Magic Mountain gets about 93% of the winter sun that flat ground at Swain Resort does, December through March. That's sunnier than 64% of the runs we've measured, and the 2nd sunniest named run at Swain Resort. Its top sits at 1,340 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.
