Blue Mount Snow, VT
Little Dipper drops 816 vertical feet over 5,099 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 18° about 890 feet below the top. That's steeper than 28% of the 5,615 blue runs we've measured in North America, and the 59th steepest of 86 named runs at Mount Snow. It faces southeast.
Facing southeast at an average 9°, Little Dipper gets about 117% of the winter sun that flat ground at Mount Snow does, December through March. That's sunnier than 85% of the runs we've measured, and the 10th sunniest named run at Mount Snow. Its top sits at 3,560 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.
