Blue Park City, UT
Thunder Rd drops 689 vertical feet over 3,008 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 30° about 520 feet below the top. That's steeper than 96% of the 5,615 blue runs we've measured in North America, and the 125th steepest of 334 named runs at Park City. It faces east.
Facing east at an average 14°, Thunder Rd gets about 101% of the winter sun that flat ground at Park City does, December through March. That's sunnier than 73% of the runs we've measured, and the 72nd sunniest named run at Park City. Its top sits at 7,760 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.
