Double black (off-piste) Beaver Mountain, UT
Sour Grapes drops 707 vertical feet over 5,057 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 33° about 4,070 feet below the top. That's steeper than 36% of the 2,251 double black runs we've measured in North America, and the 4th steepest of 48 named runs at Beaver Mountain. It faces southeast.
Facing southeast at an average 8°, Sour Grapes gets about 113% of the winter sun that flat ground at Beaver Mountain does, December through March. That's sunnier than 82% of the runs we've measured, and the 6th sunniest named run at Beaver Mountain. Its top sits at 8,410 feet.
Angled toward the low winter sun, it bakes: powder turns heavy soon after a storm, and in spring it softens early in the day and refreezes hard overnight. Shading from ridges and trees isn't counted yet.
