Blue Powder Mountain, UT
Down the Line drops 649 vertical feet over 2,485 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 25° about 490 feet below the top. That's steeper than 76% of the 5,615 blue runs we've measured in North America, and the 133rd steepest of 204 named runs at Powder Mountain. It faces south.
Facing south at an average 15°, Down the Line gets about 134% of the winter sun that flat ground at Powder Mountain does, December through March. That's sunnier than 94% of the runs we've measured, and the 12th sunniest named run at Powder Mountain. Its top sits at 8,720 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.
