Blue Cranmore Mountain, NH
Artist Falls drops 473 vertical feet over 1,745 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 23° about 820 feet below the top. That's steeper than 59% of the 5,615 blue runs we've measured in North America, and the 15th steepest of 54 named runs at Cranmore Mountain. It faces southwest.
Facing southwest at an average 16°, Artist Falls gets about 138% of the winter sun that flat ground at Cranmore Mountain does, December through March. That's sunnier than 95% of the runs we've measured, and the sunniest named run at Cranmore Mountain. Its top sits at 1,520 feet.
Angled toward the low winter sun, it bakes: powder turns heavy soon after a storm, and in spring it softens early in the day and refreezes hard overnight. Shading from ridges and trees isn't counted yet.
