Black diamond Powder Mountain, UT
Powder Chamber 3 drops 841 vertical feet over 2,072 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 35° about 300 feet below the top. That's steeper than 83% of the 4,740 black diamond runs we've measured in North America, and the 39th steepest of 204 named runs at Powder Mountain. It faces northwest.
Facing northwest at an average 24°, Powder Chamber 3 gets about 59% of the winter sun that flat ground at Powder Mountain does, December through March. That's shadier than 85% of the runs we've measured, and the 23rd shadiest named run at Powder Mountain. Its top sits at 8,490 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.
