Blue Attitash, NH
Northwest Passage drops 847 vertical feet over 3,615 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 27° about 700 feet below the top. That's steeper than 87% of the 5,615 blue runs we've measured in North America, and the 13th steepest of 70 named runs at Attitash. It faces west.
Facing west at an average 14°, Northwest Passage gets about 91% of the winter sun that flat ground at Attitash does, December through March. That's sunnier than 61% of the runs we've measured, and the 6th sunniest named run at Attitash. Its top sits at 2,060 feet.
With little slope to hide behind, it takes nearly the full winter sun of open ground: powder settles and turns heavy sooner after a storm, and spring snow softens early. Shading from ridges and trees isn't counted yet.
