Blue Brian Head, UT
Bear Paw drops 336 vertical feet over 1,572 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 20° about 980 feet below the top. That's steeper than 39% of the 5,615 blue runs we've measured in North America, and the 34th steepest of 57 named runs at Brian Head. It faces northwest.
Facing northwest at an average 12°, Bear Paw gets about 72% of the winter sun that flat ground at Brian Head does, December through March. That's shadier than 68% of the runs we've measured, and the 3rd shadiest named run at Brian Head. Its top sits at 10,590 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.
