Black diamond Brighton, UT
Silver Spur drops 600 vertical feet over 2,559 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 28° about 330 feet below the top. That's steeper than 40% of the 4,740 black diamond runs we've measured in North America, and the 21st steepest of 57 named runs at Brighton. It faces southwest.
Facing southwest at an average 14°, Silver Spur gets about 113% of the winter sun that flat ground at Brighton does, December through March. That's sunnier than 82% of the runs we've measured, and the 6th sunniest named run at Brighton. Its top sits at 9,620 feet.
Angled toward the low winter sun, it bakes: powder turns heavy soon after a storm, and in spring it softens early in the day and refreezes hard overnight. Shading from ridges and trees isn't counted yet.
