Black diamond Gunstock, NH
Slingshot drops 95 vertical feet over 348 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 17° about 150 feet below the top. That's steeper than 4% of the 4,740 black diamond runs we've measured in North America, and the 28th steepest of 51 named runs at Gunstock. It faces northeast.
Facing northeast at an average 16°, Slingshot gets about 65% of the winter sun that flat ground at Gunstock does, December through March. That's shadier than 79% of the runs we've measured, and the 3rd shadiest named run at Gunstock. Its top sits at 1,540 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.
