Black diamond Loon Mountain, NH
Air Site drops 439 vertical feet over 1,506 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 31° about 430 feet below the top. That's steeper than 64% of the 4,740 black diamond runs we've measured in North America, and the 2nd steepest of 76 named runs at Loon Mountain. It faces north.
Facing north at an average 17°, Air Site gets about 50% of the winter sun that flat ground at Loon Mountain does, December through March. That's shadier than 93% of the runs we've measured, and the 7th shadiest named run at Loon Mountain. Its top sits at 2,070 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.
