Black diamond Jackson Hole, WY
Casper Traverse drops 457 vertical feet over 1,917 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 27° about 1,400 feet below the top. That's steeper than 37% of the 4,740 black diamond runs we've measured in North America, and the 94th steepest of 126 named runs at Jackson Hole. It faces east.
Facing east at an average 14°, Casper Traverse gets about 119% of the winter sun that flat ground at Jackson Hole does, December through March. That's sunnier than 86% of the runs we've measured, and the 101st sunniest named run at Jackson Hole. 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.
