Double black Powder Mountain, UT
Technocrane drops 1,276 vertical feet over 3,325 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 50° about 280 feet below the top. That's steeper than 98% of the 2,251 double black runs we've measured in North America, and the 3rd steepest of 204 named runs at Powder Mountain. It faces north.
Facing north at an average 23°, Technocrane gets about 53% of the winter sun that flat ground at Powder Mountain does, December through March. That's shadier than 91% of the runs we've measured, and the 11th shadiest named run at Powder Mountain. Its top sits at 8,260 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.
