Blue Beaver Mountain, UT
Shady drops 390 vertical feet over 1,616 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 23° about 190 feet below the top. That's steeper than 63% of the 5,615 blue runs we've measured in North America, and the 27th steepest of 48 named runs at Beaver Mountain. It faces northeast.
Facing northeast at an average 14°, Shady gets about 74% of the winter sun that flat ground at Beaver Mountain does, December through March. That's shadier than 65% of the runs we've measured, and the 12th shadiest named run at Beaver Mountain. Its top sits at 8,210 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.
