Black diamond Powder Mountain, UT
Hidden Valley drops 397 vertical feet over 1,493 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 33° about 330 feet below the top. That's steeper than 75% of the 4,740 black diamond runs we've measured in North America, and the 48th steepest of 204 named runs at Powder Mountain. It faces northeast.
Facing northeast at an average 16°, Hidden Valley gets about 69% of the winter sun that flat ground at Powder Mountain does, December through March. That's shadier than 73% of the runs we've measured, and the 45th 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.
