Blue Cannon Mountain, NH
Blueball drops 146 vertical feet over 584 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 19° about 10 feet below the top. That's steeper than 32% of the 5,615 blue runs we've measured in North America, and the 69th steepest of 92 named runs at Cannon Mountain. It faces northwest.
Facing northwest at an average 15°, Blueball gets about 68% of the winter sun that flat ground at Cannon Mountain does, December through March. That's shadier than 75% of the runs we've measured, and the 62nd shadiest named run at Cannon Mountain. Its top sits at 2,540 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.
