Black diamond Beaver Mountain, UT
Lue's drops 1,273 vertical feet over 3,802 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 33° about 590 feet below the top. That's steeper than 74% of the 4,740 black diamond runs we've measured in North America, and the 5th steepest of 48 named runs at Beaver Mountain. It faces northeast.
Facing northeast at an average 20°, Lue's gets about 77% of the winter sun that flat ground at Beaver Mountain does, December through March. That's shadier than 60% of the runs we've measured, and the 17th shadiest named run at Beaver Mountain. Its top sits at 8,660 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.
