Black diamond Beaver Mountain, UT
Beaver's Powder drops 686 vertical feet over 2,166 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 30° about 1,060 feet below the top. That's steeper than 56% of the 4,740 black diamond runs we've measured in North America, and the 10th steepest of 48 named runs at Beaver Mountain. It faces northeast.
Facing northeast at an average 19°, Beaver's Powder gets about 71% of the winter sun that flat ground at Beaver Mountain does, December through March. That's shadier than 70% of the runs we've measured, and the 7th shadiest named run at Beaver Mountain. Its top sits at 8,630 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.
