Black diamond Beaver Mountain, UT
School Hill drops 682 vertical feet over 1,933 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 28° about 1,770 feet below the top. That's steeper than 44% of the 4,740 black diamond runs we've measured in North America, and the 18th steepest of 48 named runs at Beaver Mountain. It faces northeast.
Facing northeast at an average 21°, School Hill gets about 75% of the winter sun that flat ground at Beaver Mountain does, December through March. That's shadier than 63% of the runs we've measured, and the 14th shadiest named run at Beaver Mountain. Its top sits at 8,060 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.
