Blue Bogus Basin, ID
Wake Up Jim drops 186 vertical feet over 995 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 19° about 90 feet below the top. That's steeper than 36% of the 5,615 blue runs we've measured in North America, and the 73rd steepest of 98 named runs at Bogus Basin. It faces west.
Facing west at an average 11°, Wake Up Jim gets about 96% of the winter sun that flat ground at Bogus Basin does, December through March. That's sunnier than 68% of the runs we've measured, and the 31st sunniest named run at Bogus Basin. Its top sits at 6,440 feet.
With little slope to hide behind, it takes nearly the full winter sun of open ground: powder settles and turns heavy sooner after a storm, and spring snow softens early. Shading from ridges and trees isn't counted yet.
