Blue Lookout Pass, ID
Black BEar drops 307 vertical feet over 1,386 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 19° about 680 feet below the top. That's steeper than 36% of the 5,615 blue runs we've measured in North America, and the 35th steepest of 49 named runs at Lookout Pass. It faces north.
Facing north at an average 13°, Black BEar gets about 63% of the winter sun that flat ground at Lookout Pass does, December through March. That's shadier than 81% of the runs we've measured, and the 11th shadiest named run at Lookout Pass. Its top sits at 5,520 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.
