Blue Powder Mountain, UT
Cherry Ridge drops 429 vertical feet over 1,790 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 22° about 1,690 feet below the top. That's steeper than 52% of the 5,615 blue runs we've measured in North America, and the 165th steepest of 204 named runs at Powder Mountain. It faces northeast.
Facing northeast at an average 14°, Cherry Ridge gets about 75% of the winter sun that flat ground at Powder Mountain does, December through March. That's shadier than 63% of the runs we've measured, and the 73rd shadiest named run at Powder Mountain. Its top sits at 8,720 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.
