Blue Powder Mountain, UT
Hairy Mary drops 575 vertical feet over 2,730 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 22° about 1,170 feet below the top. That's steeper than 57% of the 5,615 blue runs we've measured in North America, and the 162nd steepest of 204 named runs at Powder Mountain. It faces east.
Facing east at an average 12°, Hairy Mary gets about 100% of the winter sun that flat ground at Powder Mountain does, December through March. That's sunnier than 71% of the runs we've measured, and the 68th sunniest named run at Powder Mountain. Its top sits at 8,860 feet.
With little slope to hide behind, it takes nearly the full winter sun of open ground: powder settles and turns heavy sooner after a storm, and spring snow softens early. Shading from ridges and trees isn't counted yet.
