Double black Park City, UT
Deshutes drops 692 vertical feet over 1,399 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 37° about 490 feet below the top. That's steeper than 53% of the 2,251 double black runs we've measured in North America, and the 40th steepest of 334 named runs at Park City. It faces north.
Facing north at an average 30°, Deshutes gets about 39% of the winter sun that flat ground at Park City does, December through March. That's shadier than 98% of the runs we've measured, and the shadiest named run at Park City. Its top sits at 8,920 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.
