Black diamond Park City, UT
Heavy Metal drops 599 vertical feet over 1,441 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 31° about 470 feet below the top. That's steeper than 64% of the 4,740 black diamond runs we've measured in North America, and the 112th steepest of 334 named runs at Park City. It faces north.
Facing north at an average 25°, Heavy Metal gets about 46% of the winter sun that flat ground at Park City does, December through March. That's shadier than 95% of the runs we've measured, and the 7th shadiest named run at Park City. Its top sits at 8,520 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.
