Blue Lookout Pass, ID
Copper Spur drops 55 vertical feet over 382 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 19° about 360 feet below the top. That's steeper than 31% of the 5,615 blue runs we've measured in North America, and the 37th steepest of 49 named runs at Lookout Pass. It faces east.
Facing east at an average 9°, Copper Spur gets about 103% of the winter sun that flat ground at Lookout Pass does, December through March. That's sunnier than 74% of the runs we've measured, and the 18th sunniest named run at Lookout Pass. Its top sits at 5,110 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.
