Black diamond Jackson Hole, WY
Secret Slope drops 171 vertical feet over 778 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 30° about 10 feet below the top. That's steeper than 56% of the 4,740 black diamond runs we've measured in North America, and the 78th steepest of 126 named runs at Jackson Hole. It faces southeast.
Facing southeast at an average 13°, Secret Slope gets about 149% of the winter sun that flat ground at Jackson Hole does, December through March. That's sunnier than 98% of the runs we've measured, and the 27th sunniest named run at Jackson Hole. Its top sits at 7,220 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.
