Blue Brundage, ID
Kickback drops 758 vertical feet over 4,087 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 25° about 3,510 feet below the top. That's steeper than 74% of the 5,615 blue runs we've measured in North America, and the 35th steepest of 76 named runs at Brundage. It faces south.
Facing south at an average 11°, Kickback gets about 115% of the winter sun that flat ground at Brundage does, December through March. That's sunnier than 83% of the runs we've measured, and the 19th sunniest named run at Brundage. Its top sits at 7,320 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.
