Black diamond Snowmass, CO
Slot (Lower) drops 1,203 vertical feet over 5,571 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 32° about 4,230 feet below the top. That's steeper than 72% of the 4,740 black diamond runs we've measured in North America, and the 44th steepest of 126 named runs at Snowmass. It faces northwest.
Facing northwest at an average 13°, Slot (Lower) gets about 77% of the winter sun that flat ground at Snowmass does, December through March. That's shadier than 59% of the runs we've measured, and the 96th shadiest named run at Snowmass. Its top sits at 9,450 feet.
It gets an ordinary dose of sun: powder lasts a typical amount of time, and spring snow softens on a normal schedule. Shading from ridges and trees isn't counted yet.
