Double black Bretton Woods, NH
Downspout Glade drops 175 vertical feet over 719 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 24° about 370 feet below the top. That's steeper than 10% of the 2,251 double black runs we've measured in North America, and the 20th steepest of 95 named runs at Bretton Woods. It faces east.
Facing east at an average 14°, Downspout Glade gets about 96% of the winter sun that flat ground at Bretton Woods does, December through March. That's sunnier than 67% of the runs we've measured, and the 3rd sunniest named run at Bretton Woods. Its top sits at 1,990 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.
