Blue Lookout Pass, ID
Red Dog drops 718 vertical feet over 1,884 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 32° about 1,600 feet below the top. That's steeper than 98% of the 5,615 blue runs we've measured in North America, and the 2nd steepest of 49 named runs at Lookout Pass. It faces northwest.
Facing northwest at an average 23°, Red Dog gets about 50% of the winter sun that flat ground at Lookout Pass does, December through March. That's shadier than 93% of the runs we've measured, and the 6th shadiest named run at Lookout Pass. Its top sits at 5,250 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.
