Black diamond Powder Mountain, UT
Bob's Knob drops 83 vertical feet over 782 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 14° about 760 feet below the top. That's steeper than 2% of the 4,740 black diamond runs we've measured in North America, and the 196th steepest of 204 named runs at Powder Mountain. It faces east.
Facing east at an average 6°, Bob's Knob gets about 96% of the winter sun that flat ground at Powder Mountain does, December through March. That's sunnier than 68% of the runs we've measured, and the 75th sunniest named run at Powder Mountain. Its top sits at 8,460 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.
