Locke Line drops 293 vertical feet over 1,157 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 24° about 700 feet below the top. That's steeper than 18% of the 4,740 black diamond runs we've measured in North America, and the 46th steepest of 126 named runs at Sunday River. It faces north.
Facing north at an average 15°, Locke Line gets about 62% of the winter sun that flat ground at Sunday River does, December through March. That's shadier than 82% of the runs we've measured, and the 29th shadiest named run at Sunday River. Its top sits at 2,550 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.
