Blue Bogus Basin, ID
Playground drops 177 vertical feet over 834 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 15° about 250 feet below the top. That's steeper than 14% of the 5,615 blue runs we've measured in North America, and the 88th steepest of 98 named runs at Bogus Basin. It faces north.
Facing north at an average 12°, Playground gets about 65% of the winter sun that flat ground at Bogus Basin does, December through March. That's shadier than 79% of the runs we've measured, and the 36th shadiest named run at Bogus Basin. Its top sits at 7,040 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.
