Black diamond Brundage, ID
Skid Row drops 484 vertical feet over 1,720 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 24° about 310 feet below the top. That's steeper than 19% of the 4,740 black diamond runs we've measured in North America, and the 40th steepest of 76 named runs at Brundage. It faces west.
Facing west at an average 17°, Skid Row gets about 99% of the winter sun that flat ground at Brundage does, December through March. That's sunnier than 70% of the runs we've measured, and the 38th sunniest named run at Brundage. Its top sits at 6,980 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.
