Black diamond Brian Head, UT
Bristlecone Bowl drops 75 vertical feet over 1,113 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 13° about 10 feet below the top. That's steeper than 1% of the 4,740 black diamond runs we've measured in North America, and the 52nd steepest of 57 named runs at Brian Head. It faces southwest.
Facing southwest at an average 4°, Bristlecone Bowl gets about 119% of the winter sun that flat ground at Brian Head does, December through March. That's sunnier than 86% of the runs we've measured, and the 2nd sunniest named run at Brian Head. Its top sits at 10,700 feet.
Angled toward the low winter sun, it bakes: powder turns heavy soon after a storm, and in spring it softens early in the day and refreezes hard overnight. Shading from ridges and trees isn't counted yet.
