Blue Deer Valley, UT
Sunrise drops 177 vertical feet over 1,696 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 21° about 1,520 feet below the top. That's steeper than 46% of the 5,615 blue runs we've measured in North America, and the 164th steepest of 224 named runs at Deer Valley. It faces south.
Facing south at an average 7°, Sunrise gets about 123% of the winter sun that flat ground at Deer Valley does, December through March. That's sunnier than 88% of the runs we've measured, and the 7th sunniest named run at Deer Valley. Its top sits at 8,470 feet.
Angled toward the low winter sun, it bakes: powder turns heavy soon after a storm, and in spring it softens early in the day and refreezes hard overnight. Shading from ridges and trees isn't counted yet.
