Blue Brundage, ID
Sidewinder drops 552 vertical feet over 1,799 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 22° about 900 feet below the top. That's steeper than 58% of the 5,615 blue runs we've measured in North America, and the 47th steepest of 76 named runs at Brundage. It faces west.
Facing west at an average 18°, Sidewinder gets about 108% of the winter sun that flat ground at Brundage does, December through March. That's sunnier than 79% of the runs we've measured, and the 26th sunniest named run at Brundage. Its top sits at 7,600 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.
