Double black Bretton Woods, NH
Dark Star drops 117 vertical feet over 283 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 27° about 200 feet below the top. That's steeper than 15% of the 2,251 double black runs we've measured in North America, and the 12th steepest of 95 named runs at Bretton Woods. It faces northwest.
Facing northwest at an average 25°, Dark Star gets about 66% of the winter sun that flat ground at Bretton Woods does, December through March. That's shadier than 77% of the runs we've measured, and the 14th shadiest named run at Bretton Woods. Its top sits at 2,010 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.
