Blue Loon Mountain, NH
Upper Speakeasy drops 472 vertical feet over 2,872 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 21° about 1,880 feet below the top. That's steeper than 44% of the 5,615 blue runs we've measured in North America, and the 38th steepest of 76 named runs at Loon Mountain. It faces north.
Facing north at an average 10°, Upper Speakeasy gets about 73% of the winter sun that flat ground at Loon Mountain does, December through March. That's shadier than 66% of the runs we've measured, and the 44th shadiest named run at Loon Mountain. Its top sits at 2,470 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.
