Double black Deer Valley, UT
Daly Chute 8 drops 224 vertical feet over 526 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 36° about 70 feet below the top. That's steeper than 50% of the 2,251 double black runs we've measured in North America, and the 16th steepest of 224 named runs at Deer Valley. It faces northeast.
Facing northeast at an average 26°, Daly Chute 8 gets about 54% of the winter sun that flat ground at Deer Valley does, December through March. That's shadier than 90% of the runs we've measured, and the 10th shadiest named run at Deer Valley. Its top sits at 8,920 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.
