Green Powder Mountain, UT
Sun Catcher drops 536 vertical feet over 3,625 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 15° about 1,400 feet below the top. That's steeper than 53% of the 3,109 green runs we've measured in North America, and the 193rd steepest of 204 named runs at Powder Mountain. It faces northwest.
Facing northwest at an average 9°, Sun Catcher gets about 69% of the winter sun that flat ground at Powder Mountain does, December through March. That's shadier than 73% of the runs we've measured, and the 45th shadiest named run at Powder Mountain. Its top sits at 8,460 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.
