Climax drops 495 vertical feet over 1,615 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 27° about 1,390 feet below the top. That's steeper than 86% of the 5,615 blue runs we've measured in North America, and the 185th steepest of 334 named runs at Park City. It faces northwest.
Facing northwest at an average 18°, Climax gets about 74% of the winter sun that flat ground at Park City does, December through March. That's shadier than 65% of the runs we've measured, and the 109th shadiest named run at Park City. Its top sits at 8,080 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.
