Black diamond Sunday River, ME
Snowbound drops 108 vertical feet over 760 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 21° about 730 feet below the top. That's steeper than 10% of the 4,740 black diamond runs we've measured in North America, and the 60th steepest of 126 named runs at Sunday River. It faces northeast.
Facing northeast at an average 8°, Snowbound gets about 71% of the winter sun that flat ground at Sunday River does, December through March. That's shadier than 70% of the runs we've measured, and the 45th shadiest named run at Sunday River. Its top sits at 1,810 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.
