Blue Lookout Pass, ID
Cloud 9 drops 764 vertical feet over 3,170 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 21° about 700 feet below the top. That's steeper than 51% of the 5,615 blue runs we've measured in North America, and the 32nd steepest of 49 named runs at Lookout Pass. It faces southwest.
Facing southwest at an average 14°, Cloud 9 gets about 128% of the winter sun that flat ground at Lookout Pass does, December through March. That's sunnier than 91% of the runs we've measured, and the 8th sunniest named run at Lookout Pass. Its top sits at 5,520 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.
