Black diamond Bogus Basin, ID
Superior drops 1,418 vertical feet over 4,092 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 31° about 2,580 feet below the top. That's steeper than 61% of the 4,740 black diamond runs we've measured in North America, and the 17th steepest of 98 named runs at Bogus Basin. It faces north.
Facing north at an average 20°, Superior gets about 44% of the winter sun that flat ground at Bogus Basin does, December through March. That's shadier than 96% of the runs we've measured, and the 11th shadiest named run at Bogus Basin. Its top sits at 7,450 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.
