Showcase drops 680 vertical feet over 3,537 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 19° about 810 feet below the top. That's steeper than 34% of the 5,615 blue runs we've measured in North America, and the 75th steepest of 98 named runs at Bogus Basin. It faces north.
Facing north at an average 11°, Showcase gets about 70% of the winter sun that flat ground at Bogus Basin does, December through March. That's shadier than 72% of the runs we've measured, and the 43rd shadiest named run at Bogus Basin. Its top sits at 7,030 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.
