Black diamond Deer Valley, UT
Grizzly drops 657 vertical feet over 1,572 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 34° about 1,370 feet below the top. That's steeper than 81% of the 4,740 black diamond runs we've measured in North America, and the 27th steepest of 224 named runs at Deer Valley. It faces northeast.
Facing northeast at an average 25°, Grizzly gets about 75% of the winter sun that flat ground at Deer Valley does, December through March. That's shadier than 63% of the runs we've measured, and the 86th shadiest named run at Deer Valley. Its top sits at 9,290 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.
