Green Brian Head, UT
Alpen Way drops 372 vertical feet over 4,420 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 16° about 4,010 feet below the top. That's steeper than 62% of the 3,109 green runs we've measured in North America, and the 43rd steepest of 57 named runs at Brian Head. It faces northwest.
Facing northwest at an average 5°, Alpen Way gets about 77% of the winter sun that flat ground at Brian Head does, December through March. That's shadier than 60% of the runs we've measured, and the 11th shadiest named run at Brian Head. Its top sits at 10,200 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.
