Black diamond Solitude, UT
Prince Of Wales drops 502 vertical feet over 1,156 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 36° about 160 feet below the top. That's steeper than 88% of the 4,740 black diamond runs we've measured in North America, and the 21st steepest of 75 named runs at Solitude. It faces northeast.
Facing northeast at an average 26°, Prince Of Wales gets about 64% of the winter sun that flat ground at Solitude does, December through March. That's shadier than 79% of the runs we've measured, and the 10th shadiest named run at Solitude. Its top sits at 9,730 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.
