Blue Mount Sunapee, NH
Outer Ridge drops 347 vertical feet over 2,262 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 17° about 390 feet below the top. That's steeper than 21% of the 5,615 blue runs we've measured in North America, and the 50th steepest of 74 named runs at Mount Sunapee. It faces west.
Facing west at an average 9°, Outer Ridge gets about 94% of the winter sun that flat ground at Mount Sunapee does, December through March. That's sunnier than 65% of the runs we've measured, and the 15th sunniest named run at Mount Sunapee. Its top sits at 2,210 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.
