Black diamond Jackson Hole, WY
Woolsey Woods drops 472 vertical feet over 1,169 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 34° about 470 feet below the top. That's steeper than 81% of the 4,740 black diamond runs we've measured in North America, and the 49th steepest of 126 named runs at Jackson Hole. It faces east.
Facing east at an average 24°, Woolsey Woods 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 106th sunniest named run at Jackson Hole. Its top sits at 8,870 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.
