Blue Sunday River, ME
Sunday Punch drops 562 vertical feet over 1,855 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 25° about 430 feet below the top. That's steeper than 77% of the 5,615 blue runs we've measured in North America, and the 37th steepest of 126 named runs at Sunday River. It faces north.
Facing north at an average 18°, Sunday Punch gets about 48% of the winter sun that flat ground at Sunday River does, December through March. That's shadier than 94% of the runs we've measured, and the 9th shadiest named run at Sunday River. Its top sits at 2,090 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.
