Blue Beaver Mountain, UT
The Ridge drops 685 vertical feet over 2,474 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 23° about 2,180 feet below the top. That's steeper than 61% of the 5,615 blue runs we've measured in North America, and the 28th steepest of 48 named runs at Beaver Mountain. It faces northeast.
Facing northeast at an average 16°, The Ridge gets about 71% of the winter sun that flat ground at Beaver Mountain does, December through March. That's shadier than 69% of the runs we've measured, and the 8th shadiest named run at Beaver Mountain. Its top sits at 8,020 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.
