Blue Snow King, WY
Towers drops 105 vertical feet over 378 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 25° about 30 feet below the top. That's steeper than 78% of the 5,615 blue runs we've measured in North America, and the 24th steepest of 33 named runs at Snow King. It faces north.
Facing north at an average 16°, Towers gets about 54% of the winter sun that flat ground at Snow King does, December through March. That's shadier than 90% of the runs we've measured, and the 25th shadiest named run at Snow King. Its top sits at 6,930 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.
