Black diamond Jackson Hole, WY
Cascade drops 689 vertical feet over 1,575 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 37° about 660 feet below the top. That's steeper than 90% of the 4,740 black diamond runs we've measured in North America, and the 29th steepest of 126 named runs at Jackson Hole. It faces south.
Facing south at an average 27°, Cascade gets about 161% of the winter sun that flat ground at Jackson Hole does, December through March. That's sunnier than 99% of the runs we've measured, and the 9th sunniest named run at Jackson Hole. Its top sits at 8,910 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.
