Blue Snow King, WY
Lower Grizzly drops 226 vertical feet over 793 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 25° about 100 feet below the top. That's steeper than 75% of the 5,615 blue runs we've measured in North America, and the 25th steepest of 33 named runs at Snow King. It faces north.
Facing north at an average 17°, Lower Grizzly gets about 39% 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 15th shadiest named run at Snow King. Its top sits at 6,990 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.
