Blue Brian Head, UT
Shivwits drops 145 vertical feet over 712 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 17° about 390 feet below the top. That's steeper than 23% of the 5,615 blue runs we've measured in North America, and the 41st steepest of 57 named runs at Brian Head. It faces east.
Facing east at an average 12°, Shivwits gets about 102% of the winter sun that flat ground at Brian Head does, December through March. That's sunnier than 73% of the runs we've measured, and the 7th sunniest named run at Brian Head. Its top sits at 10,190 feet.
With little slope to hide behind, it takes nearly the full winter sun of open ground: powder settles and turns heavy sooner after a storm, and spring snow softens early. Shading from ridges and trees isn't counted yet.
