Blue Grand Targhee, WY
Paintbrush drops 490 vertical feet over 1,603 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 23° about 1,380 feet below the top. That's steeper than 65% of the 5,615 blue runs we've measured in North America, and the 63rd steepest of 83 named runs at Grand Targhee. It faces northwest.
Facing northwest at an average 18°, Paintbrush gets about 69% of the winter sun that flat ground at Grand Targhee does, December through March. That's shadier than 73% of the runs we've measured, and the 15th shadiest named run at Grand Targhee. Its top sits at 8,350 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.
