Blue Deer Valley, UT
Lakeshore drops 479 vertical feet over 2,040 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 25° about 390 feet below the top. That's steeper than 75% of the 5,615 blue runs we've measured in North America, and the 119th steepest of 224 named runs at Deer Valley. It faces east.
Facing east at an average 14°, Lakeshore gets about 97% of the winter sun that flat ground at Deer Valley does, December through March. That's sunnier than 68% of the runs we've measured, and the 58th sunniest named run at Deer Valley. Its top sits at 7,370 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.
