Lower Chute drops 233 vertical feet over 936 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 18° about 180 feet below the top. That's steeper than 76% of the 3,109 green runs we've measured in North America, and the 34th steepest of 53 named runs at Ragged Mountain. It faces north.
Facing north at an average 14°, Lower Chute gets about 61% of the winter sun that flat ground at Ragged Mountain does, December through March. That's shadier than 84% of the runs we've measured, and the 4th shadiest named run at Ragged Mountain. Its top sits at 1,790 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.
