Blue Bogus Basin, ID
Bonanza drops 672 vertical feet over 2,492 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 27° about 1,100 feet below the top. That's steeper than 87% of the 5,615 blue runs we've measured in North America, and the 34th steepest of 98 named runs at Bogus Basin. It faces north.
Facing north at an average 16°, Bonanza gets about 52% of the winter sun that flat ground at Bogus Basin does, December through March. That's shadier than 92% of the runs we've measured, and the 15th shadiest named run at Bogus Basin. Its top sits at 7,470 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.
