Black diamond Powder Mountain, UT
Powder Puff drops 609 vertical feet over 1,348 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 37° about 50 feet below the top. That's steeper than 91% of the 4,740 black diamond runs we've measured in North America, and the 27th steepest of 204 named runs at Powder Mountain. It faces northeast.
Facing northeast at an average 27°, Powder Puff gets about 57% of the winter sun that flat ground at Powder Mountain does, December through March. That's shadier than 87% of the runs we've measured, and the 19th shadiest named run at Powder Mountain. Its top sits at 7,670 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.
