Black diamond Brighton, UT
Hard Coin drops 384 vertical feet over 1,452 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 35° about 430 feet below the top. That's steeper than 84% of the 4,740 black diamond runs we've measured in North America, and the 7th steepest of 57 named runs at Brighton. It faces northwest.
Facing northwest at an average 16°, Hard Coin gets about 71% of the winter sun that flat ground at Brighton does, December through March. That's shadier than 69% of the runs we've measured, and the 5th shadiest named run at Brighton. Its top sits at 10,130 feet.
Shaded snow stays colder and drier, so it holds powder longer after a storm and is slower to crust over or turn to slush in spring. Shading from ridges and trees isn't counted yet.
