Extension drops 285 vertical feet over 1,011 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 24° about 220 feet below the top. That's steeper than 19% of the 4,740 black diamond runs we've measured in North America, and the 44th steepest of 92 named runs at Cannon Mountain. It faces northeast.
Facing northeast at an average 17°, Extension gets about 47% of the winter sun that flat ground at Cannon Mountain does, December through March. That's shadier than 95% of the runs we've measured, and the 13th shadiest named run at Cannon Mountain. Its top sits at 2,940 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.
