Blue Eagle Point, UT
Black Diamonds Pass drops 53 vertical feet over 1,071 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 9° about 1,050 feet below the top. That's steeper than 2% of the 5,615 blue runs we've measured in North America, and the 34th steepest of 36 named runs at Eagle Point. It faces southeast.
Facing southeast at an average 3°, Black Diamonds Pass gets about 116% of the winter sun that flat ground at Eagle Point does, December through March. That's sunnier than 84% of the runs we've measured, and the 16th sunniest named run at Eagle Point. Its top sits at 10,110 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.
