Blue Loon Mountain, NH
Crosscut drops 178 vertical feet over 872 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 17° about 830 feet below the top. That's steeper than 23% of the 5,615 blue runs we've measured in North America, and the 52nd steepest of 76 named runs at Loon Mountain. It faces northeast.
Facing northeast at an average 12°, Crosscut gets about 74% of the winter sun that flat ground at Loon Mountain does, December through March. That's shadier than 65% of the runs we've measured, and the 46th shadiest named run at Loon Mountain. Its top sits at 2,050 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.
