Blue Bogus Basin, ID
Lower Ridge drops 527 vertical feet over 2,026 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 23° about 1,500 feet below the top. That's steeper than 63% of the 5,615 blue runs we've measured in North America, and the 59th steepest of 98 named runs at Bogus Basin. It faces north.
Facing north at an average 15°, Lower Ridge gets about 60% of the winter sun that flat ground at Bogus Basin does, December through March. That's shadier than 84% of the runs we've measured, and the 26th shadiest named run at Bogus Basin. Its top sits at 6,710 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.
