Black diamond Bogus Basin, ID
War Eagle drops 1,287 vertical feet over 3,475 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 28° about 410 feet below the top. That's steeper than 47% of the 4,740 black diamond runs we've measured in North America, and the 26th steepest of 98 named runs at Bogus Basin. It faces north.
Facing north at an average 22°, War Eagle gets about 47% of the winter sun that flat ground at Bogus Basin does, December through March. That's shadier than 95% of the runs we've measured, and the 13th shadiest named run at Bogus Basin. Its top sits at 7,350 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.
