Black diamond Snowbird, UT
Regulator Johnson drops 1,135 vertical feet over 4,704 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 33° about 2,620 feet below the top. That's steeper than 74% of the 4,740 black diamond runs we've measured in North America, and the 78th steepest of 151 named runs at Snowbird. It faces west.
Facing west at an average 14°, Regulator Johnson gets about 102% of the winter sun that flat ground at Snowbird does, December through March. That's sunnier than 73% of the runs we've measured, and the 27th sunniest named run at Snowbird. Its top sits at 10,840 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.
