Black diamond Kelly Canyon, ID
Steeper 'N Heck drops 465 vertical feet over 1,091 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 34° about 160 feet below the top. That's steeper than 79% of the 4,740 black diamond runs we've measured in North America, and the 2nd steepest of 49 named runs at Kelly Canyon. It faces southwest.
Facing southwest at an average 25°, Steeper 'N Heck gets about 123% of the winter sun that flat ground at Kelly Canyon does, December through March. That's sunnier than 88% of the runs we've measured, and the sunniest named run at Kelly Canyon. Its top sits at 6,630 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.
