Blue Cannon Mountain, NH
Rocket drops 558 vertical feet over 1,495 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 27° about 90 feet below the top. That's steeper than 89% of the 5,615 blue runs we've measured in North America, and the 22nd steepest of 92 named runs at Cannon Mountain. It faces northeast.
Facing northeast at an average 22°, Rocket gets about 62% of the winter sun that flat ground at Cannon Mountain does, December through March. That's shadier than 82% of the runs we've measured, and the 43rd shadiest named run at Cannon Mountain. Its top sits at 2,550 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.
