Black diamond Eagle Point, UT
Delano Drop drops 840 vertical feet over 2,287 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 29° about 1,160 feet below the top. That's steeper than 47% of the 4,740 black diamond runs we've measured in North America, and the 5th steepest of 36 named runs at Eagle Point. It faces northwest.
Facing northwest at an average 22°, Delano Drop gets about 70% of the winter sun that flat ground at Eagle Point does, December through March. That's shadier than 71% of the runs we've measured, and the 7th shadiest named run at Eagle Point. Its top sits at 10,170 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.
