Blue Powder Mountain, UT
On Your Mark drops 647 vertical feet over 2,570 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 24° about 230 feet below the top. That's steeper than 70% of the 5,615 blue runs we've measured in North America, and the 140th steepest of 204 named runs at Powder Mountain. It faces north.
Facing north at an average 15°, On Your Mark 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 43rd shadiest named run at Powder Mountain. Its top sits at 8,420 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.
