Blue Schweitzer, ID
Charlie's drops 381 vertical feet over 1,227 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 28° about 700 feet below the top. That's steeper than 93% of the 5,615 blue runs we've measured in North America, and the 56th steepest of 98 named runs at Schweitzer. It faces southeast.
Facing southeast at an average 18°, Charlie's gets about 142% of the winter sun that flat ground at Schweitzer does, December through March. That's sunnier than 97% of the runs we've measured, and the 11th sunniest named run at Schweitzer. Its top sits at 5,760 feet.
Angled toward the low winter sun, it bakes: powder turns heavy soon after a storm, and in spring it softens early in the day and refreezes hard overnight. Shading from ridges and trees isn't counted yet.
