Double black Bogus Basin, ID
Lucky Friday drops 949 vertical feet over 3,023 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 29° about 1,560 feet below the top. That's steeper than 22% of the 2,251 double black runs we've measured in North America, and the 23rd steepest of 98 named runs at Bogus Basin. It faces southeast.
Facing southeast at an average 19°, Lucky Friday gets about 121% of the winter sun that flat ground at Bogus Basin does, December through March. That's sunnier than 87% of the runs we've measured, and the 14th sunniest named run at Bogus Basin. Its top sits at 6,770 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.
