Black diamond Teton Pass, MT
Widow Maker drops 631 vertical feet over 2,100 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 31° about 460 feet below the top. That's steeper than 66% of the 4,740 black diamond runs we've measured in North America, and the 10th steepest of 38 named runs at Teton Pass. It faces southeast.
Facing southeast at an average 18°, Widow Maker gets about 123% of the winter sun that flat ground at Teton Pass does, December through March. That's sunnier than 88% of the runs we've measured, and the 10th sunniest named run at Teton Pass. Its top sits at 6,960 feet.
Angled toward the low winter sun, it bakes: powder turns heavy soon after a storm, and in spring it softens early in the day and refreezes hard overnight. Shading from ridges and trees isn't counted yet.
