West Slope drops 513 vertical feet over 2,499 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 16° about 650 feet below the top. That's steeper than 65% of the 3,109 green runs we've measured in North America, and the 36th steepest of 42 named runs at Shawness Peak. It faces north.
Facing north at an average 12°, West Slope gets about 68% of the winter sun that flat ground at Shawness Peak does, December through March. That's shadier than 75% of the runs we've measured, and the 21st shadiest named run at Shawness Peak. Its top sits at 1,060 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.
