Blue Sunday River, ME
Escapade drops 907 vertical feet over 4,055 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 24° about 1,320 feet below the top. That's steeper than 69% of the 5,615 blue runs we've measured in North America, and the 46th steepest of 126 named runs at Sunday River. It faces east.
Facing east at an average 13°, Escapade gets about 91% of the winter sun that flat ground at Sunday River does, December through March. That's sunnier than 61% of the runs we've measured, and the 23rd sunniest named run at Sunday River. Its top sits at 2,080 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.
