Blue Whiteface Mountain, NY
U. Valley drops 459 vertical feet over 2,118 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 20° about 1,540 feet below the top. That's steeper than 38% of the 5,615 blue runs we've measured in North America, and the 54th steepest of 90 named runs at Whiteface Mountain. It faces east.
Facing east at an average 13°, U. Valley gets about 101% of the winter sun that flat ground at Whiteface Mountain does, December through March. That's sunnier than 73% of the runs we've measured, and the 52nd sunniest named run at Whiteface Mountain. Its top sits at 2,560 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.
