How well Slot Shot holds snow

Snow preservationGood

Facing northwest at an average 12°, Slot Shot gets about 76% of the winter sun that flat ground at Ski Granby does, December through March. That's shadier than 61% of the runs we've measured, and the 5th shadiest named run at Ski Granby. Its top sits at 9,010 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.
