Double black Deer Valley, UT
Daly Chute 1 drops 508 vertical feet over 1,187 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 41° about 350 feet below the top. That's steeper than 76% of the 2,251 double black runs we've measured in North America, and the 8th steepest of 224 named runs at Deer Valley. It faces northeast.
Facing northeast at an average 26°, Daly Chute 1 gets about 62% of the winter sun that flat ground at Deer Valley does, December through March. That's shadier than 83% of the runs we've measured, and the 30th shadiest named run at Deer Valley. Its top sits at 9,110 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.
