Blue Cranmore Mountain, NH
The Alley drops 616 vertical feet over 2,763 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 23° about 190 feet below the top. That's steeper than 60% of the 5,615 blue runs we've measured in North America, and the 13th steepest of 54 named runs at Cranmore Mountain. It faces west.
Facing west at an average 13°, The Alley gets about 96% of the winter sun that flat ground at Cranmore Mountain does, December through March. That's sunnier than 67% of the runs we've measured, and the 28th sunniest named run at Cranmore Mountain. Its top sits at 1,170 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.
