Blue Brundage, ID
Dropline drops 643 vertical feet over 2,297 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 23° about 1,940 feet below the top. That's steeper than 66% of the 5,615 blue runs we've measured in North America, and the 43rd steepest of 76 named runs at Brundage. It faces southeast.
Facing southeast at an average 16°, Dropline gets about 131% of the winter sun that flat ground at Brundage does, December through March. That's sunnier than 93% of the runs we've measured, and the 9th sunniest named run at Brundage. Its top sits at 7,210 feet.
Angled toward the low winter sun, it bakes: powder turns heavy soon after a storm, and in spring it softens early in the day and refreezes hard overnight. Shading from ridges and trees isn't counted yet.
