Black diamond Brighton, UT
Chute 2 drops 194 vertical feet over 901 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 22° about 200 feet below the top. That's steeper than 12% of the 4,740 black diamond runs we've measured in North America, and the 42nd steepest of 57 named runs at Brighton. It faces east.
Facing east at an average 13°, Chute 2 gets about 98% of the winter sun that flat ground at Brighton does, December through March. That's sunnier than 69% of the runs we've measured, and the 17th 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.
