Blue Powder Mountain, UT
Rod's Run drops 400 vertical feet over 1,710 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 23° about 280 feet below the top. That's steeper than 63% of the 5,615 blue runs we've measured in North America, and the 152nd steepest of 204 named runs at Powder Mountain. It faces north.
Facing north at an average 14°, Rod's Run gets about 62% of the winter sun that flat ground at Powder Mountain does, December through March. That's shadier than 82% of the runs we've measured, and the 29th shadiest named run at Powder Mountain. Its top sits at 8,340 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.
