Home Run drops 96 vertical feet over 568 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 15° about 100 feet below the top. That's steeper than 13% of the 5,615 blue runs we've measured in North America, and the 9th steepest of 16 named runs at Soda Springs. It faces northeast.
Facing northeast at an average 10°, Home Run gets about 69% of the winter sun that flat ground at Soda Springs does, December through March. That's shadier than 73% of the runs we've measured, and the 7th shadiest named run at Soda Springs. Its top sits at 7,050 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.
