Green Snow King, WY
Cats Tail drops 132 vertical feet over 594 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 17° about 400 feet below the top. That's steeper than 70% of the 3,109 green runs we've measured in North America, and the 30th steepest of 33 named runs at Snow King. It faces north.
Facing north at an average 13°, Cats Tail gets about 57% of the winter sun that flat ground at Snow King does, December through March. That's shadier than 87% of the runs we've measured, and the 28th shadiest named run at Snow King. Its top sits at 6,620 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.
