Black diamond Powder Mountain, UT
Take 1 drops 627 vertical feet over 1,494 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 32° about 510 feet below the top. That's steeper than 70% of the 4,740 black diamond runs we've measured in North America, and the 58th steepest of 204 named runs at Powder Mountain. It faces north.
Facing north at an average 25°, Take 1 gets about 48% of the winter sun that flat ground at Powder Mountain does, December through March. That's shadier than 94% of the runs we've measured, and the 5th shadiest named run at Powder Mountain. Its top sits at 7,520 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.
