Black diamond Snowbasin, UT
Sunshine Bowl drops 662 vertical feet over 1,882 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 33° about 460 feet below the top. That's steeper than 77% of the 4,740 black diamond runs we've measured in North America, and the 44th steepest of 127 named runs at Snowbasin. It faces east.
Facing east at an average 21°, Sunshine Bowl gets about 91% of the winter sun that flat ground at Snowbasin does, December through March. That's sunnier than 61% of the runs we've measured, and the 44th sunniest named run at Snowbasin. Its top sits at 7,810 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.
