Black diamond Attitash, NH
Tightrope drops 607 vertical feet over 2,213 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 26° about 1,380 feet below the top. That's steeper than 27% of the 4,740 black diamond runs we've measured in North America, and the 20th steepest of 70 named runs at Attitash. It faces west.
Facing west at an average 16°, Tightrope gets about 92% of the winter sun that flat ground at Attitash does, December through March. That's sunnier than 63% of the runs we've measured, and the 4th sunniest named run at Attitash. Its top sits at 2,080 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.
