Blue Cranmore Mountain, NH
Lower Hurricane drops 411 vertical feet over 1,506 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 25° about 430 feet below the top. That's steeper than 76% of the 5,615 blue runs we've measured in North America, and the 7th steepest of 54 named runs at Cranmore Mountain. It faces northwest.
Facing northwest at an average 16°, Lower Hurricane gets about 74% of the winter sun that flat ground at Cranmore Mountain does, December through March. That's shadier than 64% of the runs we've measured, and the 3rd shadiest named run at Cranmore Mountain. Its top sits at 1,110 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.
