Black diamond Grand Targhee, WY
Tanglewood drops 991 vertical feet over 2,576 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 36° about 790 feet below the top. That's steeper than 89% of the 4,740 black diamond runs we've measured in North America, and the 10th steepest of 83 named runs at Grand Targhee. It faces west.
Facing west at an average 23°, Tanglewood gets about 119% of the winter sun that flat ground at Grand Targhee does, December through March. That's sunnier than 86% of the runs we've measured, and the 28th sunniest named run at Grand Targhee. Its top sits at 8,950 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.
