Blue Cranmore Mountain, NH
Rattlesnake drops 294 vertical feet over 1,521 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 17° about 120 feet below the top. That's steeper than 22% of the 5,615 blue runs we've measured in North America, and the 37th steepest of 54 named runs at Cranmore Mountain. It faces north.
Facing north at an average 11°, Rattlesnake gets about 68% of the winter sun that flat ground at Cranmore Mountain does, December through March. That's shadier than 74% of the runs we've measured, and the 2nd shadiest named run at Cranmore Mountain. Its top sits at 1,620 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.
