Slalom drops 939 vertical feet over 2,705 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 30° about 2,160 feet below the top. That's steeper than 96% of the 5,615 blue runs we've measured in North America, and the 75th steepest of 126 named runs at Jackson Hole. It faces southeast.

How well Slalom holds snow

Snow preservationPoor

Facing southeast at an average 20°, Slalom gets about 137% of the winter sun that flat ground at Jackson Hole does, December through March. That's sunnier than 95% of the runs we've measured, and the 55th sunniest named run at Jackson Hole. Its top sits at 7,530 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.
