Sluice drops 177 vertical feet over 993 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 17° about 540 feet below the top. That's steeper than 69% of the 3,109 green runs we've measured in North America, and the 120th steepest of 141 named runs at Copper. It faces northeast.
Facing northeast at an average 11°, Sluice gets about 87% of the winter sun that flat ground at Copper does, December through March. That's sunnier than 55% of the runs we've measured, and the 40th sunniest named run at Copper. Its top sits at 11,370 feet.
It gets an ordinary dose of sun: powder lasts a typical amount of time, and spring snow softens on a normal schedule. Shading from ridges and trees isn't counted yet.
