Blue Mount Sunapee, NH
Sundance drops 160 vertical feet over 876 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 19° about 850 feet below the top. That's steeper than 33% of the 5,615 blue runs we've measured in North America, and the 38th steepest of 74 named runs at Mount Sunapee. It faces northeast.
Facing northeast at an average 11°, Sundance gets about 77% of the winter sun that flat ground at Mount Sunapee does, December through March. That's shadier than 60% of the runs we've measured, and the 37th shadiest named run at Mount Sunapee. Its top sits at 2,020 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.
