Black diamond Sundance, UT
Expedition drops 149 vertical feet over 385 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 33° about 180 feet below the top. That's steeper than 75% of the 4,740 black diamond runs we've measured in North America, and the 24th steepest of 66 named runs at Sundance. It faces north.
Facing north at an average 23°, Expedition gets about 54% of the winter sun that flat ground at Sundance does, December through March. That's shadier than 90% of the runs we've measured, and the 14th shadiest named run at Sundance. Its top sits at 7,170 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.
