Blue Park City, UT
Royal drops 167 vertical feet over 722 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 18° about 450 feet below the top. That's steeper than 29% of the 5,615 blue runs we've measured in North America, and the 285th steepest of 334 named runs at Park City. It faces southeast.
Facing southeast at an average 13°, Royal gets about 120% of the winter sun that flat ground at Park City does, December through March. That's sunnier than 87% of the runs we've measured, and the 28th sunniest named run at Park City. Its top sits at 8,750 feet.
Angled toward the low winter sun, it bakes: powder turns heavy soon after a storm, and in spring it softens early in the day and refreezes hard overnight. Shading from ridges and trees isn't counted yet.
