Bivouac drops 311 vertical feet over 774 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 30° about 60 feet below the top. That's steeper than 54% of the 4,740 black diamond runs we've measured in North America, and the 79th steepest of 126 named runs at Jackson Hole. It faces northeast.

How well Bivouac holds snow

Snow preservationExcellent

Facing northeast at an average 24°, Bivouac gets about 48% of the winter sun that flat ground at Jackson Hole does, December through March. That's shadier than 94% of the runs we've measured, and the 2nd shadiest named run at Jackson Hole. Its top sits at 9,390 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.
