Blue Cannon Mountain, NH
Upper Cannon drops 639 vertical feet over 2,490 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 21° about 1,480 feet below the top. That's steeper than 47% of the 5,615 blue runs we've measured in North America, and the 58th steepest of 92 named runs at Cannon Mountain. It faces north.
Facing north at an average 15°, Upper Cannon gets about 51% of the winter sun that flat ground at Cannon Mountain does, December through March. That's shadier than 92% of the runs we've measured, and the 22nd shadiest named run at Cannon Mountain. Its top sits at 4,040 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.
