Blue Ragged Mountain, NH
Pines drops 286 vertical feet over 1,331 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 18° about 770 feet below the top. That's steeper than 27% of the 5,615 blue runs we've measured in North America, and the 33rd steepest of 53 named runs at Ragged Mountain. It faces north.
Facing north at an average 13°, Pines gets about 65% of the winter sun that flat ground at Ragged Mountain does, December through March. That's shadier than 78% of the runs we've measured, and the 12th shadiest named run at Ragged Mountain. Its top sits at 1,430 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.
