Way Back drops 149 vertical feet over 1,067 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 19° about 10 feet below the top. That's steeper than 32% of the 5,615 blue runs we've measured in North America, and the 69th steepest of 92 named runs at Cannon Mountain. It faces north.
Facing north at an average 9°, Way Back gets about 51% of the winter sun that flat ground at Cannon Mountain does, December through March. That's shadier than 92% of the runs we've measured, and the 21st shadiest named run at Cannon Mountain. Its top sits at 2,310 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.
