Blue Grand Targhee, WY
Medicine Bowl drops 267 vertical feet over 930 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 24° about 140 feet below the top. That's steeper than 73% of the 5,615 blue runs we've measured in North America, and the 62nd steepest of 83 named runs at Grand Targhee. It faces northwest.
Facing northwest at an average 17°, Medicine Bowl gets about 60% of the winter sun that flat ground at Grand Targhee does, December through March. That's shadier than 85% of the runs we've measured, and the 11th shadiest named run at Grand Targhee. Its top sits at 8,300 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.
