Middle Saco drops 930 vertical feet over 3,971 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 21° about 2,500 feet below the top. That's steeper than 46% of the 5,615 blue runs we've measured in North America, and the 31st steepest of 70 named runs at Attitash. It faces north.
Facing north at an average 14°, Middle Saco gets about 70% of the winter sun that flat ground at Attitash does, December through March. That's shadier than 71% of the runs we've measured, and the 34th shadiest named run at Attitash. Its top sits at 2,020 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.
