Blue Mount Snow, VT
Under Pressure drops 161 vertical feet over 849 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 20° about 650 feet below the top. That's steeper than 39% of the 5,615 blue runs we've measured in North America, and the 49th steepest of 86 named runs at Mount Snow. It faces northeast.
Facing northeast at an average 11°, Under Pressure gets about 72% of the winter sun that flat ground at Mount Snow does, December through March. That's shadier than 68% of the runs we've measured, and the 15th shadiest named run at Mount Snow. Its top sits at 2,370 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.
