Tramway drops 605 vertical feet over 2,260 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 22° about 1,310 feet below the top. That's steeper than 55% of the 5,615 blue runs we've measured in North America, and the 55th steepest of 92 named runs at Cannon Mountain. It faces north.

How well Tramway holds snow

Snow preservationExcellent

Facing north at an average 16°, Tramway gets about 57% of the winter sun that flat ground at Cannon Mountain does, December through March. That's shadier than 87% of the runs we've measured, and the 33rd shadiest named run at Cannon Mountain. Its top sits at 4,000 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.
