Upper Wipeout drops 296 vertical feet over 822 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 30° about 90 feet below the top. That's steeper than 23% of the 2,251 double black runs we've measured in North America, and the 6th steepest of 57 named runs at Windham Mountain. It faces northeast.
Facing northeast at an average 21°, Upper Wipeout gets about 64% of the winter sun that flat ground at Windham Mountain does, December through March. That's shadier than 79% of the runs we've measured, and the 12th shadiest named run at Windham Mountain. Its top sits at 2,920 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.
