Blue Deer Valley, UT
Divide drops 516 vertical feet over 1,850 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 25° about 1,510 feet below the top. That's steeper than 76% of the 5,615 blue runs we've measured in North America, and the 115th steepest of 224 named runs at Deer Valley. It faces east.
Facing east at an average 16°, Divide gets about 95% of the winter sun that flat ground at Deer Valley does, December through March. That's sunnier than 66% of the runs we've measured, and the 65th sunniest named run at Deer Valley. Its top sits at 7,140 feet.
With little slope to hide behind, it takes nearly the full winter sun of open ground: powder settles and turns heavy sooner after a storm, and spring snow softens early. Shading from ridges and trees isn't counted yet.
