Black diamond Eagle Point, UT
Donner's Descent drops 775 vertical feet over 1,937 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 32° about 1,190 feet below the top. That's steeper than 70% of the 4,740 black diamond runs we've measured in North America, and the 1st steepest of 36 named runs at Eagle Point. It faces northwest.
Facing northwest at an average 24°, Donner's Descent gets about 66% of the winter sun that flat ground at Eagle Point does, December through March. That's shadier than 78% of the runs we've measured, and the 5th shadiest named run at Eagle Point. Its top sits at 10,000 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.
