Black diamond Cannon Mountain, NH
Short Fuse drops 160 vertical feet over 435 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 30° about 200 feet below the top. That's steeper than 59% of the 4,740 black diamond runs we've measured in North America, and the 9th steepest of 92 named runs at Cannon Mountain. It faces north.
Facing north at an average 22°, Short Fuse gets about 42% of the winter sun that flat ground at Cannon Mountain does, December through March. That's shadier than 97% of the runs we've measured, and the 4th shadiest named run at Cannon Mountain. Its top sits at 3,230 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.
