Green Whiteface Mountain, NY
Flying squirrel drops 223 vertical feet over 1,716 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 13° about 1,260 feet below the top. That's steeper than 39% of the 3,109 green runs we've measured in North America, and the 79th steepest of 90 named runs at Whiteface Mountain. It faces southeast.
Facing southeast at an average 8°, Flying squirrel gets about 111% of the winter sun that flat ground at Whiteface Mountain does, December through March. That's sunnier than 80% of the runs we've measured, and the 39th sunniest named run at Whiteface Mountain. Its top sits at 1,620 feet.
Angled toward the low winter sun, it bakes: powder turns heavy soon after a storm, and in spring it softens early in the day and refreezes hard overnight. Shading from ridges and trees isn't counted yet.
