Blue Powder Mountain, UT
White Pine drops 1,000 vertical feet over 4,340 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 23° about 940 feet below the top. That's steeper than 65% of the 5,615 blue runs we've measured in North America, and the 149th steepest of 204 named runs at Powder Mountain. It faces north.
Facing north at an average 13°, White Pine gets about 70% of the winter sun that flat ground at Powder Mountain does, December through March. That's shadier than 71% of the runs we've measured, and the 51st shadiest named run at Powder Mountain. Its top sits at 8,860 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.
