Black diamond Ragged Mountain, NH
Lower Crewcut drops 128 vertical feet over 474 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 25° about 350 feet below the top. That's steeper than 22% of the 4,740 black diamond runs we've measured in North America, and the 11th steepest of 53 named runs at Ragged Mountain. It faces north.
Facing north at an average 16°, Lower Crewcut gets about 59% of the winter sun that flat ground at Ragged Mountain does, December through March. That's shadier than 85% of the runs we've measured, and the 2nd shadiest named run at Ragged Mountain. Its top sits at 1,980 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.
