Blue Loon Mountain, NH
Bear Island Bypass drops 206 vertical feet over 995 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 21° about 430 feet below the top. That's steeper than 49% of the 5,615 blue runs we've measured in North America, and the 37th steepest of 76 named runs at Loon Mountain. It faces north.
Facing north at an average 12°, Bear Island Bypass gets about 68% of the winter sun that flat ground at Loon Mountain does, December through March. That's shadier than 75% of the runs we've measured, and the 31st shadiest named run at Loon Mountain. Its top sits at 2,220 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.
