Double black Powder Mountain, UT
Little Shot drops 1,395 vertical feet over 3,449 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 40° about 1,460 feet below the top. That's steeper than 70% of the 2,251 double black runs we've measured in North America, and the 15th steepest of 204 named runs at Powder Mountain. It faces west.
Facing west at an average 24°, Little Shot gets about 103% of the winter sun that flat ground at Powder Mountain does, December through March. That's sunnier than 74% of the runs we've measured, and the 61st sunniest named run at Powder Mountain. Its top sits at 8,500 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.
