Black diamond Powder Mountain, UT
Pickup drops 529 vertical feet over 1,381 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 30° about 350 feet below the top. That's steeper than 60% of the 4,740 black diamond runs we've measured in North America, and the 79th steepest of 204 named runs at Powder Mountain. It faces northwest.
Facing northwest at an average 23°, Pickup gets about 56% of the winter sun that flat ground at Powder Mountain does, December through March. That's shadier than 88% of the runs we've measured, and the 17th shadiest named run at Powder Mountain. Its top sits at 7,510 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.
