Blue Deer Valley, UT
Race Course drops 344 vertical feet over 1,821 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 22° about 1,180 feet below the top. That's steeper than 53% of the 5,615 blue runs we've measured in North America, and the 153rd steepest of 224 named runs at Deer Valley. It faces north.
Facing north at an average 11°, Race Course gets about 77% of the winter sun that flat ground at Deer Valley does, December through March. That's shadier than 60% of the runs we've measured, and the 95th shadiest named run at Deer Valley. Its top sits at 8,470 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.
