Blue Park City, UT
Sandman drops 418 vertical feet over 3,180 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 12° about 450 feet below the top. That's steeper than 6% of the 5,615 blue runs we've measured in North America, and the 322nd steepest of 334 named runs at Park City. It faces east.
Facing east at an average 8°, Sandman gets about 94% of the winter sun that flat ground at Park City does, December through March. That's sunnier than 65% of the runs we've measured, and the 95th sunniest named run at Park City. Its top sits at 8,970 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.
