Double black Brighton, UT
True Grit drops 459 vertical feet over 1,393 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 31° about 320 feet below the top. That's steeper than 29% of the 2,251 double black runs we've measured in North America, and the 13th steepest of 57 named runs at Brighton. It faces west.
Facing west at an average 20°, True Grit gets about 94% of the winter sun that flat ground at Brighton does, December through March. That's sunnier than 65% of the runs we've measured, and the 20th sunniest named run at Brighton. Its top sits at 10,190 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.
