Black diamond Snow Summit, CA
Log Chute drops 1,030 vertical feet over 4,613 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 24° about 2,290 feet below the top. That's steeper than 17% of the 4,740 black diamond runs we've measured in North America, and the 10th steepest of 27 named runs at Snow Summit. It faces north.
Facing north at an average 13°, Log Chute gets about 74% of the winter sun that flat ground at Snow Summit does, December through March. That's shadier than 65% of the runs we've measured, and the 16th shadiest named run at Snow Summit. Its top sits at 8,120 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.
