Blue Lookout Pass, ID
Eldorado drops 802 vertical feet over 3,368 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 26° about 1,160 feet below the top. That's steeper than 81% of the 5,615 blue runs we've measured in North America, and the 19th steepest of 49 named runs at Lookout Pass. It faces northeast.
Facing northeast at an average 14°, Eldorado gets about 74% of the winter sun that flat ground at Lookout Pass does, December through March. That's shadier than 65% of the runs we've measured, and the 16th shadiest named run at Lookout Pass. Its top sits at 6,150 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.
