Black diamond Spout Springs, OR
Slalom drops 377 vertical feet over 2,055 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 28° about 1,240 feet below the top. That's steeper than 42% of the 4,740 black diamond runs we've measured in North America, and the 2nd steepest of 15 named runs at Spout Springs. It faces west.
Facing west at an average 11°, Slalom gets about 103% of the winter sun that flat ground at Spout Springs does, December through March. That's sunnier than 74% of the runs we've measured, and the 6th sunniest named run at Spout Springs. Its top sits at 5,450 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.
