Night Hawk Cut-Off drops 193 vertical feet over 825 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 26° about 50 feet below the top. That's steeper than 83% of the 5,615 blue runs we've measured in North America, and the 38th steepest of 98 named runs at Bogus Basin. It faces north.
Facing north at an average 14°, Night Hawk Cut-Off gets about 43% of the winter sun that flat ground at Bogus Basin does, December through March. That's shadier than 96% of the runs we've measured, and the 7th shadiest named run at Bogus Basin. Its top sits at 6,880 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.
