Black diamond Powder Mountain, UT
Boot Hill drops 537 vertical feet over 1,517 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 29° about 1,150 feet below the top. That's steeper than 53% of the 4,740 black diamond runs we've measured in North America, and the 91st steepest of 204 named runs at Powder Mountain. It faces southeast.
Facing southeast at an average 21°, Boot Hill gets about 118% of the winter sun that flat ground at Powder Mountain does, December through March. That's sunnier than 85% of the runs we've measured, and the 31st sunniest named run at Powder Mountain. Its top sits at 8,690 feet.
Angled toward the low winter sun, it bakes: powder turns heavy soon after a storm, and in spring it softens early in the day and refreezes hard overnight. Shading from ridges and trees isn't counted yet.
