Black diamond Powder Mountain, UT
Julie's Gyration drops 1,673 vertical feet over 5,979 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 31° about 1,930 feet below the top. That's steeper than 67% of the 4,740 black diamond runs we've measured in North America, and the 66th steepest of 204 named runs at Powder Mountain. It faces northwest.
Facing northwest at an average 17°, Julie's Gyration gets about 76% of the winter sun that flat ground at Powder Mountain does, December through March. That's shadier than 62% of the runs we've measured, and the 75th shadiest named run at Powder Mountain. Its top sits at 8,440 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.
