Blue Deer Valley, UT
Niagra drops 397 vertical feet over 1,727 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 24° about 1,560 feet below the top. That's steeper than 69% of the 5,615 blue runs we've measured in North America, and the 125th steepest of 224 named runs at Deer Valley. It faces east.
Facing east at an average 13°, Niagra gets about 98% of the winter sun that flat ground at Deer Valley does, December through March. That's sunnier than 69% of the runs we've measured, and the 56th sunniest named run at Deer Valley. Its top sits at 7,130 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.
