Blue Shawness Peak, ME
Mohawk drops 220 vertical feet over 998 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 18° about 280 feet below the top. That's steeper than 29% of the 5,615 blue runs we've measured in North America, and the 29th steepest of 42 named runs at Shawness Peak. It faces east.
Facing east at an average 13°, Mohawk gets about 98% of the winter sun that flat ground at Shawness Peak does, December through March. That's sunnier than 69% of the runs we've measured, and the 6th sunniest named run at Shawness Peak. Its top sits at 750 feet.
With little slope to hide behind, it takes nearly the full winter sun of open ground: powder settles and turns heavy sooner after a storm, and spring snow softens early. Shading from ridges and trees isn't counted yet.
