Black diamond Mt Spokane, WA
Slingshot drops 802 vertical feet over 2,317 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 28° about 1,770 feet below the top. That's steeper than 40% of the 4,740 black diamond runs we've measured in North America, and the 11th steepest of 57 named runs at Mt Spokane. It faces northwest.
Facing northwest at an average 20°, Slingshot gets about 55% of the winter sun that flat ground at Mt Spokane does, December through March. That's shadier than 89% of the runs we've measured, and the 5th shadiest named run at Mt Spokane. Its top sits at 5,800 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.
