Blue Deer Valley, UT
Blue Bell drops 677 vertical feet over 3,092 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 20° about 100 feet below the top. That's steeper than 37% of the 5,615 blue runs we've measured in North America, and the 174th steepest of 224 named runs at Deer Valley. It faces north.
Facing north at an average 13°, Blue Bell gets about 74% of the winter sun that flat ground at Deer Valley does, December through March. That's shadier than 65% of the runs we've measured, and the 79th shadiest named run at Deer Valley. Its top sits at 9,030 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.
