Green Brighton, UT
Canyon drops 662 vertical feet over 4,180 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 26° about 420 feet below the top. That's steeper than 98% of the 3,109 green runs we've measured in North America, and the 27th steepest of 57 named runs at Brighton. It faces east.
Facing east at an average 9°, Canyon gets about 103% of the winter sun that flat ground at Brighton does, December through March. That's sunnier than 75% of the runs we've measured, and the 13th sunniest named run at Brighton. Its top sits at 9,410 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.
