Blue Waterville Valley, NH
Psyched drops 545 vertical feet over 1,969 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 28° about 1,250 feet below the top. That's steeper than 93% of the 5,615 blue runs we've measured in North America, and the 7th steepest of 65 named runs at Waterville Valley. It faces east.
Facing east at an average 16°, Psyched gets about 94% of the winter sun that flat ground at Waterville Valley does, December through March. That's sunnier than 65% of the runs we've measured, and the 20th sunniest named run at Waterville Valley. Its top sits at 3,000 feet.
With little slope to hide behind, it takes nearly the full winter sun of open ground: powder settles and turns heavy sooner after a storm, and spring snow softens early. Shading from ridges and trees isn't counted yet.
