The Hoist drops 846 vertical feet over 2,924 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 37° about 1,390 feet below the top. That's steeper than 90% of the 4,740 black diamond runs we've measured in North America, and the 42nd steepest of 334 named runs at Park City. It faces northwest.
Facing northwest at an average 17°, The Hoist 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 85th shadiest named run at Park City. Its top sits at 9,370 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.
