Black diamond Bogus Basin, ID
Cascade drops 309 vertical feet over 966 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 24° about 450 feet below the top. That's steeper than 21% of the 4,740 black diamond runs we've measured in North America, and the 49th steepest of 98 named runs at Bogus Basin. It faces northeast.
Facing northeast at an average 19°, Cascade gets about 57% of the winter sun that flat ground at Bogus Basin does, December through March. That's shadier than 87% of the runs we've measured, and the 19th shadiest named run at Bogus Basin. Its top sits at 6,770 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.
