Blue Snow King, WY
Cougar drops 574 vertical feet over 1,736 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 29° about 310 feet below the top. That's steeper than 93% of the 5,615 blue runs we've measured in North America, and the 13th steepest of 33 named runs at Snow King. It faces north.
Facing north at an average 20°, Cougar gets about 36% of the winter sun that flat ground at Snow King does, December through March. That's shadier than 99% of the runs we've measured, and the 11th shadiest named run at Snow King. Its top sits at 7,090 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.
