Black diamond Powder Mountain, UT
On Air drops 604 vertical feet over 1,479 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 31° about 1,080 feet below the top. That's steeper than 64% of the 4,740 black diamond runs we've measured in North America, and the 72nd steepest of 204 named runs at Powder Mountain. It faces northwest.
Facing northwest at an average 24°, On Air gets about 46% of the winter sun that flat ground at Powder Mountain does, December through March. That's shadier than 95% of the runs we've measured, and the shadiest named run at Powder Mountain. Its top sits at 7,910 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.
