Blue Ragged Mountain, NH
Wild Ride drops 426 vertical feet over 1,991 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 17° about 700 feet below the top. That's steeper than 24% of the 5,615 blue runs we've measured in North America, and the 37th steepest of 53 named runs at Ragged Mountain. It faces north.
Facing north at an average 12°, Wild Ride gets about 67% of the winter sun that flat ground at Ragged Mountain does, December through March. That's shadier than 76% of the runs we've measured, and the 17th shadiest named run at Ragged Mountain. Its top sits at 1,550 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.
