Blue Ragged Mountain, NH
Lower Ridge drops 756 vertical feet over 3,921 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 19° about 1,100 feet below the top. That's steeper than 34% of the 5,615 blue runs we've measured in North America, and the 27th steepest of 53 named runs at Ragged Mountain. It faces north.
Facing north at an average 11°, Lower Ridge gets about 69% of the winter sun that flat ground at Ragged Mountain does, December through March. That's shadier than 73% of the runs we've measured, and the 19th shadiest named run at Ragged Mountain. Its top sits at 1,880 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.
