Black diamond Snowbird, UT
Split Rock Gully drops 910 vertical feet over 4,196 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 35° about 3,750 feet below the top. That's steeper than 84% of the 4,740 black diamond runs we've measured in North America, and the 69th steepest of 151 named runs at Snowbird. It faces southeast.
Facing southeast at an average 14°, Split Rock Gully gets about 133% of the winter sun that flat ground at Snowbird does, December through March. That's sunnier than 94% of the runs we've measured, and the 2nd sunniest named run at Snowbird. Its top sits at 10,690 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.
