The Slots drops 352 vertical feet over 762 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 40° about 260 feet below the top. That's steeper than 72% of the 2,251 double black runs we've measured in North America, and the 6th steepest of 76 named runs at Brundage. It faces northwest.
Facing northwest at an average 28°, The Slots gets about 55% of the winter sun that flat ground at Brundage does, December through March. That's shadier than 89% of the runs we've measured, and the 6th shadiest named run at Brundage. Its top sits at 7,390 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.
