Black diamond Windham Mountain, NY
Whistler Chute drops 110 vertical feet over 643 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 18° about 350 feet below the top. That's steeper than 5% of the 4,740 black diamond runs we've measured in North America, and the 35th steepest of 57 named runs at Windham Mountain. It faces northeast.
Facing northeast at an average 10°, Whistler Chute gets about 67% of the winter sun that flat ground at Windham Mountain does, December through March. That's shadier than 75% of the runs we've measured, and the 17th shadiest named run at Windham Mountain. Its top sits at 2,940 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.
