Black diamond Powder Mountain, UT
Hair Raiser drops 417 vertical feet over 1,270 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 33° about 910 feet below the top. That's steeper than 76% of the 4,740 black diamond runs we've measured in North America, and the 46th steepest of 204 named runs at Powder Mountain. It faces north.
Facing north at an average 20°, Hair Raiser gets about 50% of the winter sun that flat ground at Powder Mountain does, December through March. That's shadier than 93% of the runs we've measured, and the 7th shadiest named run at Powder Mountain. Its top sits at 7,940 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.
