Blue Solitude, UT
Shady Lane drops 341 vertical feet over 1,161 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 26° about 460 feet below the top. That's steeper than 85% of the 5,615 blue runs we've measured in North America, and the 57th steepest of 75 named runs at Solitude. It faces northeast.
Facing northeast at an average 17°, Shady Lane gets about 70% of the winter sun that flat ground at Solitude does, December through March. That's shadier than 71% of the runs we've measured, and the 19th shadiest named run at Solitude. Its top sits at 8,440 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.
