Blue Deer Valley, UT
Pinafore drops 331 vertical feet over 980 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 24° about 10 feet below the top. That's steeper than 69% of the 5,615 blue runs we've measured in North America, and the 127th steepest of 224 named runs at Deer Valley. It faces northeast.
Facing northeast at an average 20°, Pinafore gets about 64% of the winter sun that flat ground at Deer Valley does, December through March. That's shadier than 80% of the runs we've measured, and the 37th shadiest named run at Deer Valley. Its top sits at 7,680 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.
