Double black Sundance, UT
Mandan drops 121 vertical feet over 862 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 33° about 10 feet below the top. That's steeper than 37% of the 2,251 double black runs we've measured in North America, and the 22nd steepest of 66 named runs at Sundance. It faces west.
Facing west at an average 8°, Mandan gets about 94% of the winter sun that flat ground at Sundance does, December through March. That's sunnier than 66% of the runs we've measured, and the 22nd sunniest named run at Sundance. Its top sits at 7,310 feet.
With little slope to hide behind, it takes nearly the full winter sun of open ground: powder settles and turns heavy sooner after a storm, and spring snow softens early. Shading from ridges and trees isn't counted yet.
