Black diamond Cannon Mountain, NH
Skyline drops 389 vertical feet over 1,540 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 24° about 1,200 feet below the top. That's steeper than 18% of the 4,740 black diamond runs we've measured in North America, and the 46th steepest of 92 named runs at Cannon Mountain. It faces northwest.
Facing northwest at an average 15°, Skyline gets about 66% of the winter sun that flat ground at Cannon Mountain does, December through March. That's shadier than 77% of the runs we've measured, and the 59th shadiest named run at Cannon Mountain. Its top sits at 3,150 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.
