Black diamond Beaver Mountain, UT
T.J.'s Way drops 1,062 vertical feet over 4,238 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 29° about 160 feet below the top. That's steeper than 48% of the 4,740 black diamond runs we've measured in North America, and the 16th steepest of 48 named runs at Beaver Mountain. It faces east.
Facing east at an average 15°, T.J.'s Way gets about 102% of the winter sun that flat ground at Beaver Mountain does, December through March. That's sunnier than 74% of the runs we've measured, and the 9th sunniest named run at Beaver Mountain. Its top sits at 8,600 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.
