mountain slope
Peak's angled face
The side of a mountain, the inclined surface between base and peak.
Mountain slopes vary in steepness and character—some gentle enough for grazing, others too sheer to climb.
Wildflowers carpeted the lower mountain slopes.
Ski resorts develop mountain slopes into runs of varying difficulty.
