Blue Bogus Basin, ID
Alpine drops 525 vertical feet over 2,270 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 21° about 990 feet below the top. That's steeper than 45% of the 5,615 blue runs we've measured in North America, and the 65th steepest of 98 named runs at Bogus Basin. It faces north.
Facing north at an average 13°, Alpine gets about 66% of the winter sun that flat ground at Bogus Basin does, December through March. That's shadier than 77% of the runs we've measured, and the 37th shadiest named run at Bogus Basin. Its top sits at 7,030 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.
