Black diamond Jackson Hole, WY
Tower Three Chute drops 815 vertical feet over 1,589 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 39° about 370 feet below the top. That's steeper than 94% of the 4,740 black diamond runs we've measured in North America, and the 18th steepest of 126 named runs at Jackson Hole. It faces northeast.
Facing northeast at an average 31°, Tower Three Chute gets about 57% of the winter sun that flat ground at Jackson Hole does, December through March. That's shadier than 87% of the runs we've measured, and the 5th shadiest named run at Jackson Hole. Its top sits at 9,190 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.
