Black diamond Grand Targhee, WY
East Woods drops 457 vertical feet over 1,149 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 34° about 300 feet below the top. That's steeper than 81% of the 4,740 black diamond runs we've measured in North America, and the 16th steepest of 83 named runs at Grand Targhee. It faces northwest.
Facing northwest at an average 24°, East Woods gets about 50% of the winter sun that flat ground at Grand Targhee does, December through March. That's shadier than 93% of the runs we've measured, and the 5th shadiest named run at Grand Targhee. Its top sits at 9,020 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.
