Portuguse Gap drops 574 vertical feet over 1,635 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 38° about 140 feet below the top. That's steeper than 61% of the 2,251 double black runs we've measured in North America, and the 31st steepest of 334 named runs at Park City. It faces north.
Facing north at an average 21°, Portuguse Gap gets about 60% of the winter sun that flat ground at Park City does, December through March. That's shadier than 84% of the runs we've measured, and the 40th shadiest named run at Park City. Its top sits at 9,830 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.
