Black diamond Ragged Mountain, NH
Showboat drops 718 vertical feet over 2,577 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 29° about 1,650 feet below the top. That's steeper than 53% of the 4,740 black diamond runs we've measured in North America, and the 3rd steepest of 53 named runs at Ragged Mountain. It faces northeast.
Facing northeast at an average 16°, Showboat gets about 66% of the winter sun that flat ground at Ragged Mountain does, December through March. That's shadier than 77% of the runs we've measured, and the 14th 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.
