Colton's Slide drops 364 vertical feet over 1,233 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 23° about 750 feet below the top. That's steeper than 14% of the 4,740 black diamond runs we've measured in North America, and the 14th steepest of 21 named runs at Warner Canyon. It faces northeast.
Facing northeast at an average 17°, Colton's Slide gets about 65% of the winter sun that flat ground at Warner Canyon does, December through March. That's shadier than 78% of the runs we've measured, and the 6th shadiest named run at Warner Canyon. Its top sits at 6,100 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.
