Blue Snowbasin, UT
Becker Face drops 573 vertical feet over 2,658 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 19° about 940 feet below the top. That's steeper than 35% of the 5,615 blue runs we've measured in North America, and the 115th steepest of 127 named runs at Snowbasin. It faces northeast.
Facing northeast at an average 13°, Becker Face gets about 76% of the winter sun that flat ground at Snowbasin does, December through March. That's shadier than 62% of the runs we've measured, and the 37th shadiest named run at Snowbasin. Its top sits at 7,130 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.
