Blue Bretton Woods, NH
Nathan's Smile drops 128 vertical feet over 503 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 20° about 130 feet below the top. That's steeper than 38% of the 5,615 blue runs we've measured in North America, and the 44th steepest of 95 named runs at Bretton Woods. It faces east.
Facing east at an average 15°, Nathan's Smile gets about 94% of the winter sun that flat ground at Bretton Woods does, December through March. That's sunnier than 65% of the runs we've measured, and the 4th sunniest named run at Bretton Woods. Its top sits at 2,600 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.
