Black diamond Powder Mountain, UT
Double Take drops 706 vertical feet over 1,943 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 51° about 630 feet below the top. That's steeper than 100% of the 4,740 black diamond runs we've measured in North America, and the 1st steepest of 204 named runs at Powder Mountain. It faces northeast.
Facing northeast at an average 23°, Double Take gets about 71% of the winter sun that flat ground at Powder Mountain does, December through March. That's shadier than 69% of the runs we've measured, and the 62nd shadiest named run at Powder Mountain. Its top sits at 8,230 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.
