Black diamond Snowbasin, UT
Snow King drops 739 vertical feet over 3,302 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 32° about 1,230 feet below the top. That's steeper than 70% of the 4,740 black diamond runs we've measured in North America, and the 53rd steepest of 127 named runs at Snowbasin. It faces northeast.
Facing northeast at an average 14°, Snow King gets about 70% of the winter sun that flat ground at Snowbasin does, December through March. That's shadier than 71% of the runs we've measured, and the 24th shadiest named run at Snowbasin. Its top sits at 8,760 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.
