Blue Bogus Basin, ID
Smuggler Cut-Off drops 185 vertical feet over 1,107 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 15° about 450 feet below the top. That's steeper than 15% of the 5,615 blue runs we've measured in North America, and the 87th steepest of 98 named runs at Bogus Basin. It faces north.
Facing north at an average 10°, Smuggler Cut-Off gets about 61% of the winter sun that flat ground at Bogus Basin does, December through March. That's shadier than 83% of the runs we've measured, and the 29th shadiest named run at Bogus Basin. Its top sits at 6,400 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.
