Blue Solitude, UT
Front Door drops 261 vertical feet over 699 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 32° about 470 feet below the top. That's steeper than 98% of the 5,615 blue runs we've measured in North America, and the 39th steepest of 75 named runs at Solitude. It faces east.
Facing east at an average 22°, Front Door gets about 96% of the winter sun that flat ground at Solitude does, December through March. That's sunnier than 67% of the runs we've measured, and the 8th sunniest named run at Solitude. Its top sits at 9,960 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.
