Blue Whiteface Mountain, NY
Lower Northway drops 434 vertical feet over 1,811 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 21° about 10 feet below the top. That's steeper than 47% of the 5,615 blue runs we've measured in North America, and the 47th steepest of 90 named runs at Whiteface Mountain. It faces northeast.
Facing northeast at an average 14°, Lower Northway gets about 72% of the winter sun that flat ground at Whiteface Mountain does, December through March. That's shadier than 68% of the runs we've measured, and the 8th shadiest named run at Whiteface Mountain. Its top sits at 3,180 feet.
Shaded snow stays colder and drier, so it holds powder longer after a storm and is slower to crust over or turn to slush in spring. Shading from ridges and trees isn't counted yet.
