Blue Bousquet, MA
Yokun Slope drops 115 vertical feet over 538 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 17° about 250 feet below the top. That's steeper than 23% of the 5,615 blue runs we've measured in North America, and the 12th steepest of 19 named runs at Bousquet. It faces east.
Facing east at an average 12°, Yokun Slope gets about 97% of the winter sun that flat ground at Bousquet does, December through March. That's sunnier than 68% of the runs we've measured, and the 3rd sunniest named run at Bousquet. Its top sits at 1,630 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.
