Blue Alta, UT
Taint drops 318 vertical feet over 1,266 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 24° about 720 feet below the top. That's steeper than 70% of the 5,615 blue runs we've measured in North America, and the 94th steepest of 117 named runs at Alta. It faces north.
Facing north at an average 15°, Taint gets about 70% of the winter sun that flat ground at Alta does, December through March. That's shadier than 72% of the runs we've measured, and the 33rd shadiest named run at Alta. Its top sits at 9,660 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.
