Blue Moon drops 96 vertical feet over 1,193 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 15° about 1,170 feet below the top. That's steeper than 12% of the 5,615 blue runs we've measured in North America, and the 100th steepest of 124 named runs at Okemo. It faces east.

How well Blue Moon holds snow

Snow preservationBelow average

Facing east at an average 5°, Blue Moon gets about 102% of the winter sun that flat ground at Okemo does, December through March. That's sunnier than 73% of the runs we've measured, and the 63rd sunniest named run at Okemo. Its top sits at 2,510 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.
