Double black Grand Targhee, WY
Das Boat drops 316 vertical feet over 759 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 47° about 270 feet below the top. That's steeper than 95% of the 2,251 double black runs we've measured in North America, and the 4th steepest of 83 named runs at Grand Targhee. It faces north.
Facing north at an average 26°, Das Boat gets about 42% of the winter sun that flat ground at Grand Targhee does, December through March. That's shadier than 97% of the runs we've measured, and the 3rd shadiest named run at Grand Targhee. Its top sits at 8,890 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.
