Blue Beaver Mountain, UT
Waterfall drops 250 vertical feet over 1,027 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 26° about 30 feet below the top. That's steeper than 82% of the 5,615 blue runs we've measured in North America, and the 21st steepest of 48 named runs at Beaver Mountain. It faces north.
Facing north at an average 14°, Waterfall gets about 66% of the winter sun that flat ground at Beaver Mountain does, December through March. That's shadier than 77% of the runs we've measured, and the 2nd shadiest named run at Beaver Mountain. Its top sits at 7,620 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.
