Blue Sundance, UT
Bearclaw drops 1,281 vertical feet over 5,297 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 24° about 3,690 feet below the top. That's steeper than 69% of the 5,615 blue runs we've measured in North America, and the 42nd steepest of 66 named runs at Sundance. It faces north.
Facing north at an average 14°, Bearclaw gets about 73% of the winter sun that flat ground at Sundance does, December through March. That's shadier than 67% of the runs we've measured, and the 38th shadiest named run at Sundance. Its top sits at 8,250 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.
