Double black Solitude, UT
Headwall Forrest drops 597 vertical feet over 1,881 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 39° about 1,090 feet below the top. That's steeper than 64% of the 2,251 double black runs we've measured in North America, and the 16th steepest of 75 named runs at Solitude. It faces northeast.
Facing northeast at an average 19°, Headwall Forrest gets about 66% of the winter sun that flat ground at Solitude does, December through March. That's shadier than 78% of the runs we've measured, and the 12th shadiest named run at Solitude. Its top sits at 9,690 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.
