Black diamond Cranmore Mountain, NH
Split Decision drops 238 vertical feet over 1,175 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 18° about 850 feet below the top. That's steeper than 5% of the 4,740 black diamond runs we've measured in North America, and the 35th steepest of 54 named runs at Cranmore Mountain. It faces west.
Facing west at an average 12°, Split Decision gets about 94% of the winter sun that flat ground at Cranmore Mountain does, December through March. That's sunnier than 65% of the runs we've measured, and the 32nd sunniest named run at Cranmore Mountain. Its top sits at 1,670 feet.
With little slope to hide behind, it takes nearly the full winter sun of open ground: powder settles and turns heavy sooner after a storm, and spring snow softens early. Shading from ridges and trees isn't counted yet.
