Black diamond Sunday River, ME
Bim's Whim drops 260 vertical feet over 1,677 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 20° about 1,630 feet below the top. That's steeper than 8% of the 4,740 black diamond runs we've measured in North America, and the 67th steepest of 126 named runs at Sunday River. It faces northeast.
Facing northeast at an average 9°, Bim's Whim gets about 92% of the winter sun that flat ground at Sunday River does, December through March. That's sunnier than 63% of the runs we've measured, and the 20th sunniest named run at Sunday River. Its top sits at 2,580 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.
