Daly Chute 4 drops 597 vertical feet over 1,506 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 51° about 200 feet below the top. That's steeper than 99% of the 2,251 double black runs we've measured in North America, and the 2nd steepest of 224 named runs at Deer Valley. It faces northeast.
Facing northeast at an average 25°, Daly Chute 4 gets about 68% of the winter sun that flat ground at Deer Valley does, December through March. That's shadier than 74% of the runs we've measured, and the 52nd shadiest named run at Deer Valley. Its top sits at 9,120 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.
