Blue Lookout Pass, ID
Bonanza drops 784 vertical feet over 3,551 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 23° about 1,270 feet below the top. That's steeper than 59% of the 5,615 blue runs we've measured in North America, and the 29th steepest of 49 named runs at Lookout Pass. It faces east.
Facing east at an average 13°, Bonanza gets about 93% of the winter sun that flat ground at Lookout Pass does, December through March. That's sunnier than 63% of the runs we've measured, and the 26th sunniest named run at Lookout Pass. Its top sits at 5,530 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.
