Black diamond Snow King, WY
Bison drops 344 vertical feet over 905 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 26° about 60 feet below the top. That's steeper than 31% of the 4,740 black diamond runs we've measured in North America, and the 22nd steepest of 33 named runs at Snow King. It faces north.
Facing north at an average 23°, Bison gets about 37% of the winter sun that flat ground at Snow King does, December through March. That's shadier than 98% of the runs we've measured, and the 12th shadiest named run at Snow King. Its top sits at 7,070 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.
