Blue Brighton, UT
Powder Alley drops 318 vertical feet over 1,604 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 30° about 1,210 feet below the top. That's steeper than 96% of the 5,615 blue runs we've measured in North America, and the 16th steepest of 57 named runs at Brighton. It faces north.
Facing north at an average 12°, Powder Alley gets about 75% of the winter sun that flat ground at Brighton does, December through March. That's shadier than 63% of the runs we've measured, and the 12th shadiest named run at Brighton. Its top sits at 9,320 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.
