Green Deer Valley, UT
Little Giant drops 188 vertical feet over 1,564 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 29° about 1,480 feet below the top. That's steeper than 99% of the 3,109 green runs we've measured in North America, and the 76th steepest of 224 named runs at Deer Valley. It faces northeast.
Facing northeast at an average 8°, Little Giant gets about 70% of the winter sun that flat ground at Deer Valley does, December through March. That's shadier than 71% of the runs we've measured, and the 63rd shadiest named run at Deer Valley. Its top sits at 7,540 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.
