Green Sunday River, ME
Double Refraction drops 488 vertical feet over 4,182 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 15° about 2,430 feet below the top. That's steeper than 58% of the 3,109 green runs we've measured in North America, and the 99th steepest of 126 named runs at Sunday River. It faces southeast.
Facing southeast at an average 7°, Double Refraction gets about 104% of the winter sun that flat ground at Sunday River does, December through March. That's sunnier than 75% of the runs we've measured, and the 7th sunniest named run at Sunday River. Its top sits at 1,880 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.
