Blue Sugarloaf, ME
Jill Poke drops 279 vertical feet over 1,051 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 27° about 800 feet below the top. That's steeper than 86% of the 5,615 blue runs we've measured in North America, and the 54th steepest of 148 named runs at Sugarloaf. It faces north.
Facing north at an average 16°, Jill Poke gets about 55% of the winter sun that flat ground at Sugarloaf does, December through March. That's shadier than 89% of the runs we've measured, and the 47th shadiest named run at Sugarloaf. Its top sits at 2,760 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.
