Blue Grand Targhee, WY
Snowdancer drops 821 vertical feet over 2,704 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 26° about 1,380 feet below the top. That's steeper than 82% of the 5,615 blue runs we've measured in North America, and the 55th steepest of 83 named runs at Grand Targhee. It faces west.
Facing west at an average 18°, Snowdancer gets about 109% of the winter sun that flat ground at Grand Targhee does, December through March. That's sunnier than 80% of the runs we've measured, and the 42nd sunniest named run at Grand Targhee. Its top sits at 8,860 feet.
Angled toward the low winter sun, it bakes: powder turns heavy soon after a storm, and in spring it softens early in the day and refreezes hard overnight. Shading from ridges and trees isn't counted yet.
