On Ramp drops 75 vertical feet over 766 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 20° about 750 feet below the top. That's steeper than 8% of the 4,740 black diamond runs we've measured in North America, and the 50th steepest of 90 named runs at Whiteface Mountain. It faces northeast.
Facing northeast at an average 6°, On Ramp gets about 65% of the winter sun that flat ground at Whiteface Mountain does, December through March. That's shadier than 78% of the runs we've measured, and the 6th shadiest named run at Whiteface Mountain. Its top sits at 2,700 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.
