Blue Gunstock, NH
Tinderbox drops 27 vertical feet over 270 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 7° about 260 feet below the top. That's steeper than 1% of the 5,615 blue runs we've measured in North America, and the 50th steepest of 51 named runs at Gunstock. It faces west.
Facing west at an average 6°, Tinderbox gets about 98% of the winter sun that flat ground at Gunstock does, December through March. That's sunnier than 69% of the runs we've measured, and the 8th sunniest named run at Gunstock. Its top sits at 1,520 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.
