Black diamond Bretton Woods, NH
Dave's Drop drops 175 vertical feet over 503 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 31° about 180 feet below the top. That's steeper than 66% of the 4,740 black diamond runs we've measured in North America, and the 4th steepest of 95 named runs at Bretton Woods. It faces northeast.
Facing northeast at an average 21°, Dave's Drop gets about 53% of the winter sun that flat ground at Bretton Woods does, December through March. That's shadier than 91% of the runs we've measured, and the 2nd shadiest named run at Bretton Woods. Its top sits at 2,780 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.
