Blue Loon Mountain, NH
Basin Street drops 495 vertical feet over 1,584 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 23° about 220 feet below the top. That's steeper than 62% of the 5,615 blue runs we've measured in North America, and the 24th steepest of 76 named runs at Loon Mountain. It faces northeast.
Facing northeast at an average 18°, Basin Street gets about 55% of the winter sun that flat ground at Loon Mountain does, December through March. That's shadier than 89% of the runs we've measured, and the 14th shadiest named run at Loon Mountain. Its top sits at 2,130 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.
