Blue Snowy Range, WY
Shoshoni drops 536 vertical feet over 2,344 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 26° about 210 feet below the top. That's steeper than 81% of the 5,615 blue runs we've measured in North America, and the 6th steepest of 34 named runs at Snowy Range. It faces east.
Facing east at an average 13°, Shoshoni gets about 101% of the winter sun that flat ground at Snowy Range does, December through March. That's sunnier than 73% of the runs we've measured, and the 4th sunniest named run at Snowy Range. Its top sits at 9,340 feet.
With little slope to hide behind, it takes nearly the full winter sun of open ground: powder settles and turns heavy sooner after a storm, and spring snow softens early. Shading from ridges and trees isn't counted yet.
