North Face Slope drops 585 vertical feet over 2,447 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 26° about 580 feet below the top. That's steeper than 31% of the 4,740 black diamond runs we've measured in North America, and the 8th steepest of 47 named runs at Seven Springs. It faces north.
Facing north at an average 14°, North Face Slope gets about 66% of the winter sun that flat ground at Seven Springs does, December through March. That's shadier than 77% of the runs we've measured, and the 10th shadiest named run at Seven Springs. Its top sits at 2,920 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.
