Sensation drops 246 vertical feet over 2,731 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 11° about 10 feet below the top. That's steeper than 24% of the 3,109 green runs we've measured in North America, and the 117th steepest of 126 named runs at Sunday River. It faces northwest.
Facing northwest at an average 5°, Sensation gets about 77% of the winter sun that flat ground at Sunday River does, December through March. That's shadier than 60% of the runs we've measured, and the 67th shadiest named run at Sunday River. Its top sits at 1,910 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.
