Double black Powder Mountain, UT
Big Shot drops 1,408 vertical feet over 3,338 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 39° about 1,310 feet below the top. That's steeper than 66% of the 2,251 double black runs we've measured in North America, and the 17th steepest of 204 named runs at Powder Mountain. It faces west.
Facing west at an average 25°, Big Shot gets about 95% of the winter sun that flat ground at Powder Mountain does, December through March. That's sunnier than 66% of the runs we've measured, and the 80th sunniest named run at Powder Mountain. Its top sits at 8,630 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.
