Black diamond Jackson Hole, WY
Expert Chutes drops 526 vertical feet over 1,108 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 41° about 310 feet below the top. That's steeper than 97% of the 4,740 black diamond runs we've measured in North America, and the 9th steepest of 126 named runs at Jackson Hole. It faces east.
Facing east at an average 29°, Expert Chutes gets about 94% of the winter sun that flat ground at Jackson Hole does, December through March. That's sunnier than 65% of the runs we've measured, and the 124th sunniest named run at Jackson Hole. Its top sits at 9,520 feet.
With little slope to hide behind, it takes nearly the full winter sun of open ground: powder settles and turns heavy sooner after a storm, and spring snow softens early. Shading from ridges and trees isn't counted yet.
