Blue Snow King, WY
Elkhorn Trail drops 473 vertical feet over 3,465 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 17° about 3,410 feet below the top. That's steeper than 19% of the 5,615 blue runs we've measured in North America, and the 33rd steepest of 33 named runs at Snow King. It faces north.
Facing north at an average 8°, Elkhorn Trail gets about 49% of the winter sun that flat ground at Snow King does, December through March. That's shadier than 93% of the runs we've measured, and the 20th shadiest named run at Snow King. Its top sits at 7,800 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.
