Green Bretton Woods, NH
Big Ben drops 217 vertical feet over 1,099 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 14° about 680 feet below the top. That's steeper than 44% of the 3,109 green runs we've measured in North America, and the 80th steepest of 95 named runs at Bretton Woods. It faces northeast.
Facing northeast at an average 11°, Big Ben gets about 71% of the winter sun that flat ground at Bretton Woods does, December through March. That's shadier than 69% of the runs we've measured, and the 36th shadiest named run at Bretton Woods. Its top sits at 2,230 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.
