Black diamond Lookout Pass, ID
Idaho Face drops 578 vertical feet over 1,766 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 30° about 370 feet below the top. That's steeper than 56% of the 4,740 black diamond runs we've measured in North America, and the 8th steepest of 49 named runs at Lookout Pass. It faces northeast.
Facing northeast at an average 19°, Idaho Face 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 17th 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.
