Double black Park City, UT
West Face drops 633 vertical feet over 1,576 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 36° about 700 feet below the top. That's steeper than 48% of the 2,251 double black runs we've measured in North America, and the 56th steepest of 334 named runs at Park City. It faces northwest.
Facing northwest at an average 24°, West Face gets about 67% of the winter sun that flat ground at Park City does, December through March. That's shadier than 76% of the runs we've measured, and the 62nd shadiest named run at Park City. Its top sits at 9,840 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.
