Mercury drops 1,485 vertical feet over 5,761 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 23° about 3,310 feet below the top. That's steeper than 66% of the 5,615 blue runs we've measured in North America, and the 226th steepest of 334 named runs at Park City. It faces northwest.
Facing northwest at an average 15°, Mercury gets about 72% of the winter sun that flat ground at Park City does, December through March. That's shadier than 68% of the runs we've measured, and the 83rd shadiest named run at Park City. Its top sits at 8,710 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.
