Blue Brundage, ID
Rodeo drops 546 vertical feet over 2,558 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 21° about 680 feet below the top. That's steeper than 47% of the 5,615 blue runs we've measured in North America, and the 54th steepest of 76 named runs at Brundage. It faces west.
Facing west at an average 12°, Rodeo gets about 100% of the winter sun that flat ground at Brundage does, December through March. That's sunnier than 71% of the runs we've measured, and the 37th sunniest named run at Brundage. Its top sits at 7,080 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.
