Lower Walking Boss Woods drops 767 vertical feet over 3,122 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 23° about 600 feet below the top. That's steeper than 14% of the 4,740 black diamond runs we've measured in North America, and the 25th steepest of 76 named runs at Loon Mountain. It faces north.
Facing north at an average 14°, Lower Walking Boss Woods gets about 53% of the winter sun that flat ground at Loon Mountain does, December through March. That's shadier than 91% of the runs we've measured, and the 10th shadiest named run at Loon Mountain. Its top sits at 2,320 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.
