Blue Loon Mountain, NH
Picaroon drops 811 vertical feet over 3,785 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 19° about 3,430 feet below the top. That's steeper than 35% of the 5,615 blue runs we've measured in North America, and the 46th steepest of 76 named runs at Loon Mountain. It faces north.
Facing north at an average 12°, Picaroon gets about 65% of the winter sun that flat ground at Loon Mountain does, December through March. That's shadier than 79% of the runs we've measured, and the 26th shadiest named run at Loon Mountain. Its top sits at 1,810 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.
