Blue Alta, UT
Race Hill drops 374 vertical feet over 2,004 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 22° about 1,230 feet below the top. That's steeper than 58% of the 5,615 blue runs we've measured in North America, and the 100th steepest of 117 named runs at Alta. It faces west.
Facing west at an average 11°, Race Hill gets about 102% of the winter sun that flat ground at Alta does, December through March. That's sunnier than 73% of the runs we've measured, and the 22nd sunniest named run at Alta. Its top sits at 9,400 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.
