Black diamond Snow King, WY
Snake River Run drops 346 vertical feet over 1,082 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 27° about 310 feet below the top. That's steeper than 37% of the 4,740 black diamond runs we've measured in North America, and the 17th steepest of 33 named runs at Snow King. It faces northwest.
Facing northwest at an average 19°, Snake River Run gets about 55% of the winter sun that flat ground at Snow King does, December through March. That's shadier than 89% of the runs we've measured, and the 26th shadiest named run at Snow King. Its top sits at 6,790 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.
