T-Shot drops 69 vertical feet over 1,073 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 7° about 310 feet below the top. That's steeper than 1% of the 5,615 blue runs we've measured in North America, and the 53rd steepest of 53 named runs at Dodge Ridge. It faces southwest.

How well T-Shot holds snow

Snow preservationBelow average

Facing southwest at an average 4°, T-Shot gets about 105% of the winter sun that flat ground at Dodge Ridge does, December through March. That's sunnier than 76% of the runs we've measured, and the 5th sunniest named run at Dodge Ridge. Its top sits at 8,140 feet.

With little slope to hide behind, it takes nearly the full winter sun of open ground: powder settles and turns heavy sooner after a storm, and spring snow softens early. Shading from ridges and trees isn't counted yet.
