Green Grand Targhee, WY
Pie Highway drops 73 vertical feet over 531 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 12° about 290 feet below the top. That's steeper than 35% of the 3,109 green runs we've measured in North America, and the 79th steepest of 83 named runs at Grand Targhee. It faces west.
Facing west at an average 8°, Pie Highway gets about 104% of the winter sun that flat ground at Grand Targhee does, December through March. That's sunnier than 75% of the runs we've measured, and the 51st sunniest named run at Grand Targhee. Its top sits at 8,110 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.
