Blue Powder Mountain, UT
RK drops 548 vertical feet over 1,880 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 22° about 1,040 feet below the top. That's steeper than 58% of the 5,615 blue runs we've measured in North America, and the 160th steepest of 204 named runs at Powder Mountain. It faces northwest.
Facing northwest at an average 17°, RK gets about 64% of the winter sun that flat ground at Powder Mountain does, December through March. That's shadier than 80% of the runs we've measured, and the 34th shadiest named run at Powder Mountain. Its top sits at 8,250 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.
