Green Deer Valley, UT
Northern Light drops 347 vertical feet over 2,835 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 19° about 70 feet below the top. That's steeper than 81% of the 3,109 green runs we've measured in North America, and the 183rd steepest of 224 named runs at Deer Valley. It faces west.
Facing west at an average 7°, Northern Light 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 55th sunniest named run at Deer Valley. Its top sits at 9,150 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.
