Blue Kelly Canyon, ID
Kelly Bowl drops 436 vertical feet over 1,686 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 26° about 800 feet below the top. That's steeper than 83% of the 5,615 blue runs we've measured in North America, and the 12th steepest of 49 named runs at Kelly Canyon. It faces north.
Facing north at an average 15°, Kelly Bowl gets about 64% of the winter sun that flat ground at Kelly Canyon does, December through March. That's shadier than 79% of the runs we've measured, and the 16th shadiest named run at Kelly Canyon. Its top sits at 6,620 feet.
Shaded snow stays colder and drier, so it holds powder longer after a storm and is slower to crust over or turn to slush in spring. Shading from ridges and trees isn't counted yet.
