Green Swain Resort, NY
Upper Mile Sweep drops 342 vertical feet over 3,705 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 12° about 3,670 feet below the top. That's steeper than 35% of the 3,109 green runs we've measured in North America, and the 31st steepest of 35 named runs at Swain Resort. It faces northeast.
Facing northeast at an average 5°, Upper Mile Sweep gets about 93% of the winter sun that flat ground at Swain Resort does, December through March. That's sunnier than 63% of the runs we've measured, and the 3rd sunniest named run at Swain Resort. Its top sits at 1,860 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.
