Log Slide drops 381 vertical feet over 2,572 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 15° about 100 feet below the top. That's steeper than 55% of the 3,109 green runs we've measured in North America, and the 42nd steepest of 63 named runs at Snowshoe Mountain. It faces east.

How well Log Slide holds snow

Snow preservationBelow average

Facing east at an average 9°, Log Slide gets about 105% of the winter sun that flat ground at Snowshoe Mountain does, December through March. That's sunnier than 76% of the runs we've measured, and the 10th sunniest named run at Snowshoe Mountain. Its top sits at 4,470 feet.

With little slope to hide behind, it takes nearly the full winter sun of open ground: powder settles and turns heavy sooner after a storm, and spring snow softens early. Shading from ridges and trees isn't counted yet.
