Black diamond Loon Mountain, NH
Skidder drops 230 vertical feet over 714 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 24° about 470 feet below the top. That's steeper than 21% of the 4,740 black diamond runs we've measured in North America, and the 20th steepest of 76 named runs at Loon Mountain. It faces north.
Facing north at an average 19°, Skidder gets about 43% of the winter sun that flat ground at Loon Mountain does, December through March. That's shadier than 96% of the runs we've measured, and the 2nd 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.
