Black diamond Bretton Woods, NH
Hemlock drops 188 vertical feet over 674 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 23° about 110 feet below the top. That's steeper than 15% of the 4,740 black diamond runs we've measured in North America, and the 30th steepest of 95 named runs at Bretton Woods. It faces northwest.
Facing northwest at an average 16°, Hemlock gets about 51% of the winter sun that flat ground at Bretton Woods does, December through March. That's shadier than 92% of the runs we've measured, and the shadiest named run at Bretton Woods. Its top sits at 2,330 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.
