Blue Deer Valley, UT
Pinto drops 246 vertical feet over 1,080 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 17° about 120 feet below the top. That's steeper than 21% of the 5,615 blue runs we've measured in North America, and the 194th steepest of 224 named runs at Deer Valley. It faces west.
Facing west at an average 13°, Pinto gets about 103% of the winter sun that flat ground at Deer Valley does, December through March. That's sunnier than 74% of the runs we've measured, and the 38th sunniest named run at Deer Valley. Its top sits at 9,270 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.
