Shootout drops 508 vertical feet over 2,063 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 22° about 1,590 feet below the top. That's steeper than 53% of the 5,615 blue runs we've measured in North America, and the 37th steepest of 86 named runs at Mount Snow. It faces northeast.
Facing northeast at an average 14°, Shootout gets about 77% of the winter sun that flat ground at Mount Snow does, December through March. That's shadier than 60% of the runs we've measured, and the 21st shadiest named run at Mount Snow. Its top sits at 3,350 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.
