Black diamond Park City, UT
Elk Ridge drops 923 vertical feet over 3,337 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 30° about 2,690 feet below the top. That's steeper than 55% of the 4,740 black diamond runs we've measured in North America, and the 138th steepest of 334 named runs at Park City. It faces east.
Facing east at an average 16°, Elk Ridge gets about 102% of the winter sun that flat ground at Park City does, December through March. That's sunnier than 73% of the runs we've measured, and the 71st sunniest named run at Park City. Its top sits at 9,120 feet.
With little slope to hide behind, it takes nearly the full winter sun of open ground: powder settles and turns heavy sooner after a storm, and spring snow softens early. Shading from ridges and trees isn't counted yet.
