Double black Deer Valley, UT
Daly Chute 5 drops 375 vertical feet over 605 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 54° about 40 feet below the top. That's steeper than 100% of the 2,251 double black runs we've measured in North America, and the 1st steepest of 224 named runs at Deer Valley. It faces northeast.
Facing northeast at an average 40°, Daly Chute 5 gets about 40% of the winter sun that flat ground at Deer Valley does, December through March. That's shadier than 97% of the runs we've measured, and the 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.
