Flying Yankee drops 876 vertical feet over 4,095 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 23° about 300 feet below the top. That's steeper than 61% of the 5,615 blue runs we've measured in North America, and the 17th steepest of 53 named runs at Ragged Mountain. It faces northeast.
Facing northeast at an average 13°, Flying Yankee gets about 73% of the winter sun that flat ground at Ragged Mountain does, December through March. That's shadier than 66% of the runs we've measured, and the 21st shadiest named run at Ragged Mountain. Its top sits at 2,090 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.
