Black diamond Powder Mountain, UT
Dead Horse Point drops 227 vertical feet over 1,056 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 24° about 490 feet below the top. That's steeper than 19% of the 4,740 black diamond runs we've measured in North America, and the 140th steepest of 204 named runs at Powder Mountain. It faces northwest.
Facing northwest at an average 13°, Dead Horse Point gets about 69% of the winter sun that flat ground at Powder Mountain does, December through March. That's shadier than 72% of the runs we've measured, and the 49th shadiest named run at Powder Mountain. Its top sits at 8,370 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.
