Black diamond Snowbird, UT
Tricep drops 319 vertical feet over 709 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 32° about 240 feet below the top. That's steeper than 71% of the 4,740 black diamond runs we've measured in North America, and the 80th steepest of 151 named runs at Snowbird. It faces northwest.
Facing northwest at an average 27°, Tricep gets about 51% of the winter sun that flat ground at Snowbird does, December through March. That's shadier than 92% of the runs we've measured, and the 18th shadiest named run at Snowbird. Its top sits at 8,590 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.
