Blue Park City, UT
Golden spruce drops 165 vertical feet over 1,431 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 14° about 940 feet below the top. That's steeper than 10% of the 5,615 blue runs we've measured in North America, and the 313th steepest of 334 named runs at Park City. It faces northwest.
Facing northwest at an average 7°, Golden spruce gets about 93% of the winter sun that flat ground at Park City does, December through March. That's sunnier than 64% of the runs we've measured, and the 103rd sunniest named run at Park City. Its top sits at 8,340 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.
