Black diamond Snowbird, UT
Nash Flora Lode drops 872 vertical feet over 1,824 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 40° about 1,160 feet below the top. That's steeper than 96% of the 4,740 black diamond runs we've measured in North America, and the 41st steepest of 151 named runs at Snowbird. It faces east.
Facing east at an average 29°, Nash Flora Lode gets about 107% of the winter sun that flat ground at Snowbird does, December through March. That's sunnier than 78% of the runs we've measured, and the 21st sunniest named run at Snowbird. Its top sits at 10,740 feet.
Angled toward the low winter sun, it bakes: powder turns heavy soon after a storm, and in spring it softens early in the day and refreezes hard overnight. Shading from ridges and trees isn't counted yet.
