Blue Windham Mountain, NY
Waltz drops 71 vertical feet over 517 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 21° about 500 feet below the top. That's steeper than 50% of the 5,615 blue runs we've measured in North America, and the 26th steepest of 57 named runs at Windham Mountain. It faces north.
Facing north at an average 8°, Waltz gets about 63% of the winter sun that flat ground at Windham Mountain does, December through March. That's shadier than 81% of the runs we've measured, and the 9th shadiest named run at Windham Mountain. Its top sits at 2,870 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.
