Black diamond Bretton Woods, NH
Among the Clouds drops 74 vertical feet over 390 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 16° about 70 feet below the top. That's steeper than 3% of the 4,740 black diamond runs we've measured in North America, and the 61st steepest of 95 named runs at Bretton Woods. It faces north.
Facing north at an average 11°, Among the Clouds gets about 68% of the winter sun that flat ground at Bretton Woods does, December through March. That's shadier than 75% of the runs we've measured, and the 17th shadiest named run at Bretton Woods. Its top sits at 2,730 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.
