Blue Loon Mountain, NH
Summit Loop drops 87 vertical feet over 457 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 18° about 220 feet below the top. That's steeper than 26% of the 5,615 blue runs we've measured in North America, and the 51st steepest of 76 named runs at Loon Mountain. It faces southwest.
Facing southwest at an average 11°, Summit Loop gets about 115% of the winter sun that flat ground at Loon Mountain does, December through March. That's sunnier than 83% of the runs we've measured, and the sunniest named run at Loon Mountain. Its top sits at 2,610 feet.
Angled toward the low winter sun, it bakes: powder turns heavy soon after a storm, and in spring it softens early in the day and refreezes hard overnight. Shading from ridges and trees isn't counted yet.
