Blue Brighton, UT
Western Trail drops 415 vertical feet over 3,411 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 23° about 1,530 feet below the top. That's steeper than 63% of the 5,615 blue runs we've measured in North America, and the 37th steepest of 57 named runs at Brighton. It faces west.
Facing west at an average 7°, Western Trail gets about 97% of the winter sun that flat ground at Brighton does, December through March. That's sunnier than 68% of the runs we've measured, and the 18th sunniest named run at Brighton. Its top sits at 10,460 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.
