Black diamond Brundage, ID
Lower Slots drops 160 vertical feet over 460 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 31° about 280 feet below the top. That's steeper than 65% of the 4,740 black diamond runs we've measured in North America, and the 12th steepest of 76 named runs at Brundage. It faces northwest.
Facing northwest at an average 21°, Lower Slots gets about 56% of the winter sun that flat ground at Brundage does, December through March. That's shadier than 88% of the runs we've measured, and the 7th shadiest named run at Brundage. Its top sits at 7,160 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.
