Blue Whiteface Mountain, NY
Burton's drops 62 vertical feet over 875 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 18° about 850 feet below the top. That's steeper than 28% of the 5,615 blue runs we've measured in North America, and the 64th steepest of 90 named runs at Whiteface Mountain. It faces east.
Facing east at an average 4°, Burton's gets about 104% of the winter sun that flat ground at Whiteface Mountain does, December through March. That's sunnier than 75% of the runs we've measured, and the 49th sunniest named run at Whiteface Mountain. Its top sits at 2,070 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.
