Log Deck drops 796 vertical feet over 3,571 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 30° about 2,220 feet below the top. That's steeper than 95% of the 5,615 blue runs we've measured in North America, and the 55th steepest of 126 named runs at Snowmass. It faces north.

How well Log Deck holds snow

Snow preservationGood

Facing north at an average 13°, Log Deck gets about 70% of the winter sun that flat ground at Snowmass does, December through March. That's shadier than 72% of the runs we've measured, and the 54th shadiest named run at Snowmass. Its top sits at 10,410 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.
