Black diamond Beaver Mountain, UT
North Fields drops 743 vertical feet over 2,166 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 31° about 980 feet below the top. That's steeper than 64% of the 4,740 black diamond runs we've measured in North America, and the 8th steepest of 48 named runs at Beaver Mountain. It faces east.
Facing east at an average 20°, North Fields gets about 96% of the winter sun that flat ground at Beaver Mountain does, December through March. That's sunnier than 67% of the runs we've measured, and the 15th sunniest named run at Beaver Mountain. Its top sits at 8,300 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.
