Double black (off-piste) Jackson Hole, WY
Rock Springs Bowl drops 2,551 vertical feet over 10,497 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 43° about 3,150 feet below the top. That's steeper than 83% of the 2,251 double black runs we've measured in North America, and the 5th steepest of 126 named runs at Jackson Hole. It faces southeast.
Facing southeast at an average 15°, Rock Springs Bowl gets about 117% of the winter sun that flat ground at Jackson Hole does, December through March. That's sunnier than 85% of the runs we've measured, and the 104th sunniest named run at Jackson Hole. Its top sits at 9,980 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.
