Blue Cannon Mountain, NH
Rock Garden drops 310 vertical feet over 958 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 23° about 480 feet below the top. That's steeper than 59% of the 5,615 blue runs we've measured in North America, and the 53rd steepest of 92 named runs at Cannon Mountain. It faces north.
Facing north at an average 19°, Rock Garden gets about 48% of the winter sun that flat ground at Cannon Mountain does, December through March. That's shadier than 94% of the runs we've measured, and the 15th shadiest named run at Cannon Mountain. Its top sits at 2,950 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.
