Blue Sundance, UT
Brightside drops 94 vertical feet over 451 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 17° about 260 feet below the top. That's steeper than 22% of the 5,615 blue runs we've measured in North America, and the 57th steepest of 66 named runs at Sundance. It faces southeast.
Facing southeast at an average 12°, Brightside gets about 113% of the winter sun that flat ground at Sundance does, December through March. That's sunnier than 82% of the runs we've measured, and the 11th sunniest named run at Sundance. Its top sits at 6,460 feet.
Angled toward the low winter sun, it bakes: powder turns heavy soon after a storm, and in spring it softens early in the day and refreezes hard overnight. Shading from ridges and trees isn't counted yet.
