Blue Snowy Range, WY
Great Escape drops 272 vertical feet over 2,366 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 18° about 1,830 feet below the top. That's steeper than 28% of the 5,615 blue runs we've measured in North America, and the 18th steepest of 34 named runs at Snowy Range. It faces north.
Facing north at an average 7°, Great Escape gets about 79% of the winter sun that flat ground at Snowy Range does, December through March. That's shadier than 56% of the runs we've measured, and the 12th shadiest named run at Snowy Range. Its top sits at 9,330 feet.
It gets an ordinary dose of sun: powder lasts a typical amount of time, and spring snow softens on a normal schedule. Shading from ridges and trees isn't counted yet.
