Blue Windham Mountain, NY
Lower Wiseacres drops 663 vertical feet over 3,204 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 16° about 400 feet below the top. That's steeper than 15% of the 5,615 blue runs we've measured in North America, and the 45th steepest of 57 named runs at Windham Mountain. It faces north.
Facing north at an average 12°, Lower Wiseacres gets about 70% of the winter sun that flat ground at Windham Mountain does, December through March. That's shadier than 71% of the runs we've measured, and the 24th shadiest named run at Windham Mountain. Its top sits at 2,460 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.
