Blue Whiteface Mountain, NY
The Wilmington Trail drops 2,313 vertical feet over 10,009 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 25° about 4,070 feet below the top. That's steeper than 77% of the 5,615 blue runs we've measured in North America, and the 33rd steepest of 90 named runs at Whiteface Mountain. It faces east.
Facing east at an average 14°, The Wilmington Trail gets about 112% of the winter sun that flat ground at Whiteface Mountain does, December through March. That's sunnier than 81% of the runs we've measured, and the 32nd sunniest named run at Whiteface Mountain. Its top sits at 4,010 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.
