Conclusion drops 175 vertical feet over 818 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 24° about 410 feet below the top. That's steeper than 19% of the 4,740 black diamond runs we've measured in North America, and the 66th steepest of 154 named runs at Killington. It faces northeast.

How well Conclusion holds snow

Snow preservationGood

Facing northeast at an average 13°, Conclusion gets about 68% of the winter sun that flat ground at Killington does, December through March. That's shadier than 75% of the runs we've measured, and the 41st shadiest named run at Killington. Its top sits at 3,190 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.
