Green Ragged Mountain, NH
Beginner Basin drops 12 vertical feet over 145 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 7° about 20 feet below the top. That's steeper than 9% of the 3,109 green runs we've measured in North America, and the 52nd steepest of 53 named runs at Ragged Mountain. It faces northwest.
Facing northwest at an average 5°, Beginner Basin gets about 92% of the winter sun that flat ground at Ragged Mountain does, December through March. That's sunnier than 63% of the runs we've measured, and the 6th sunniest named run at Ragged Mountain. Its top sits at 1,120 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.
