Black diamond Powder Mountain, UT
Omar’s Ear drops 657 vertical feet over 1,742 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 36° about 110 feet below the top. That's steeper than 86% of the 4,740 black diamond runs we've measured in North America, and the 33rd steepest of 204 named runs at Powder Mountain. It faces northeast.
Facing northeast at an average 22°, Omar’s Ear gets about 66% of the winter sun that flat ground at Powder Mountain does, December through March. That's shadier than 77% of the runs we've measured, and the 36th shadiest named run at Powder Mountain. Its top sits at 8,020 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.
