Blue Loon Mountain, NH
Blue Ox drops 971 vertical feet over 4,095 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 20° about 2,080 feet below the top. That's steeper than 40% of the 5,615 blue runs we've measured in North America, and the 41st steepest of 76 named runs at Loon Mountain. It faces north.
Facing north at an average 14°, Blue Ox gets about 62% of the winter sun that flat ground at Loon Mountain does, December through March. That's shadier than 82% of the runs we've measured, and the 22nd shadiest named run at Loon Mountain. Its top sits at 2,080 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.
