Sunset drops 879 vertical feet over 3,321 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 27° about 160 feet below the top. That's steeper than 16% of the 2,251 double black runs we've measured in North America, and the 8th steepest of 31 named runs at June Mountain. It faces north.
Facing north at an average 16°, Sunset gets about 64% of the winter sun that flat ground at June Mountain does, December through March. That's shadier than 80% of the runs we've measured, and the 10th shadiest named run at June Mountain. Its top sits at 10,000 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.
