Carnhan's drops 464 vertical feet over 1,294 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 28° about 300 feet below the top. That's steeper than 44% of the 4,740 black diamond runs we've measured in North America, and the 71st steepest of 127 named runs at Snowbasin. It faces northeast.
Facing northeast at an average 21°, Carnhan's gets about 74% of the winter sun that flat ground at Snowbasin does, December through March. That's shadier than 64% of the runs we've measured, and the 32nd shadiest named run at Snowbasin. Its top sits at 7,630 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.
