Blue Deer Valley, UT
Lucky Star drops 697 vertical feet over 2,880 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 21° about 1,840 feet below the top. That's steeper than 48% of the 5,615 blue runs we've measured in North America, and the 161st steepest of 224 named runs at Deer Valley. It faces north.
Facing north at an average 14°, Lucky Star 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 65th shadiest named run at Deer Valley. Its top sits at 8,880 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.
