Green Blue Mountain, ON
Little Ripper drops 18 vertical feet over 152 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 8° about 50 feet below the top. That's steeper than 10% of the 3,109 green runs we've measured in North America, and the 53rd steepest of 55 named runs at Blue Mountain. It faces northeast.
Facing northeast at an average 7°, Little Ripper gets about 75% of the winter sun that flat ground at Blue Mountain does, December through March. That's shadier than 63% of the runs we've measured, and the 19th shadiest named run at Blue Mountain. Its top sits at 790 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.
