Blue Snowbasin, UT
Last Chance drops 486 vertical feet over 5,595 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 12° about 10 feet below the top. That's steeper than 5% of the 5,615 blue runs we've measured in North America, and the 125th steepest of 127 named runs at Snowbasin. It faces east.
Facing east at an average 5°, Last Chance gets about 105% of the winter sun that flat ground at Snowbasin does, December through March. That's sunnier than 76% of the runs we've measured, and the 16th sunniest named run at Snowbasin. Its top sits at 7,230 feet.
With little slope to hide behind, it takes nearly the full winter sun of open ground: powder settles and turns heavy sooner after a storm, and spring snow softens early. Shading from ridges and trees isn't counted yet.
