Double black (off-piste) Jackson Hole, WY
S&S Couloir drops 350 vertical feet over 549 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 44° about 60 feet below the top. That's steeper than 88% of the 2,251 double black runs we've measured in North America, and the 3rd steepest of 126 named runs at Jackson Hole. It faces northeast.
Facing northeast at an average 40°, S&S Couloir gets about 49% of the winter sun that flat ground at Jackson Hole does, December through March. That's shadier than 93% of the runs we've measured, and the 3rd shadiest named run at Jackson Hole. Its top sits at 10,240 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.
