Jibe drops 502 vertical feet over 1,777 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 25° about 1,340 feet below the top. That's steeper than 79% of the 5,615 blue runs we've measured in North America, and the 31st steepest of 126 named runs at Sunday River. It faces northeast.
Facing northeast at an average 17°, Jibe gets about 71% of the winter sun that flat ground at Sunday River does, December through March. That's shadier than 69% of the runs we've measured, and the 50th shadiest named run at Sunday River. Its top sits at 1,720 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.
