Blue Grand Targhee, WY
Wild Turkey drops 606 vertical feet over 1,693 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 25° about 380 feet below the top. That's steeper than 78% of the 5,615 blue runs we've measured in North America, and the 61st steepest of 83 named runs at Grand Targhee. It faces northwest.
Facing northwest at an average 21°, Wild Turkey gets about 70% of the winter sun that flat ground at Grand Targhee does, December through March. That's shadier than 71% of the runs we've measured, and the 19th shadiest named run at Grand Targhee. Its top sits at 8,950 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.
