Double black Granite Peak, WI
Slalom drops 237 vertical feet over 869 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 28° about 230 feet below the top. That's steeper than 16% of the 2,251 double black runs we've measured in North America, and the 4th steepest of 59 named runs at Granite Peak. It faces north.
Facing north at an average 16°, Slalom gets about 60% of the winter sun that flat ground at Granite Peak does, December through March. That's shadier than 85% of the runs we've measured, and the 9th shadiest named run at Granite Peak. Its top sits at 1,720 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.
