Blue Mount Snow, VT
Drop drops 187 vertical feet over 1,337 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 18° about 370 feet below the top. That's steeper than 24% of the 5,615 blue runs we've measured in North America, and the 61st steepest of 86 named runs at Mount Snow. It faces northeast.
Facing northeast at an average 8°, Drop gets about 91% of the winter sun that flat ground at Mount Snow does, December through March. That's sunnier than 61% of the runs we've measured, and the 36th sunniest named run at Mount Snow. Its top sits at 2,450 feet.
With little slope to hide behind, it takes nearly the full winter sun of open ground: powder settles and turns heavy sooner after a storm, and spring snow softens early. Shading from ridges and trees isn't counted yet.
