Blue Deer Valley, UT
Redemption drops 2,448 vertical feet over 10,212 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 34° about 6,480 feet below the top. That's steeper than 99% of the 5,615 blue runs we've measured in North America, and the 30th steepest of 224 named runs at Deer Valley. It faces east.
Facing east at an average 14°, Redemption gets about 99% of the winter sun that flat ground at Deer Valley does, December through March. That's sunnier than 71% of the runs we've measured, and the 50th sunniest named run at Deer Valley. Its top sits at 9,370 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.
