Black diamond Lookout Pass, ID
Paradise Glades drops 669 vertical feet over 2,026 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 30° about 450 feet below the top. That's steeper than 57% of the 4,740 black diamond runs we've measured in North America, and the 7th steepest of 49 named runs at Lookout Pass. It faces northeast.
Facing northeast at an average 19°, Paradise Glades gets about 63% of the winter sun that flat ground at Lookout Pass does, December through March. That's shadier than 81% of the runs we've measured, and the 10th shadiest named run at Lookout Pass. Its top sits at 6,020 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.
