Lucky Bill drops 412 vertical feet over 1,193 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 28° about 410 feet below the top. That's steeper than 47% of the 4,740 black diamond runs we've measured in North America, and the 82nd steepest of 224 named runs at Deer Valley. It faces northeast.
Facing northeast at an average 20°, Lucky Bill gets about 77% of the winter sun that flat ground at Deer Valley does, December through March. That's shadier than 60% of the runs we've measured, and the 92nd shadiest named run at Deer Valley. Its top sits at 7,760 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.
