Blue Brian Head, UT
Ute drops 530 vertical feet over 2,876 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 20° about 1,120 feet below the top. That's steeper than 37% of the 5,615 blue runs we've measured in North America, and the 35th steepest of 57 named runs at Brian Head. It faces east.
Facing east at an average 11°, Ute gets about 97% of the winter sun that flat ground at Brian Head does, December through March. That's sunnier than 68% of the runs we've measured, and the 11th sunniest named run at Brian Head. Its top sits at 10,390 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.
