Green Swain Resort, NY
Shadow Mountain drops 14 vertical feet over 755 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 2° about 40 feet below the top. That's steeper than 1% of the 3,109 green runs we've measured in North America, and the 35th steepest of 35 named runs at Swain Resort. It faces southeast.
Facing southeast at an average 1°, Shadow Mountain gets about 102% of the winter sun that flat ground at Swain Resort does, December through March. That's sunnier than 73% of the runs we've measured, and the sunniest named run at Swain Resort. Its top sits at 1,330 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.
