Blue Silver Mountain, ID
Bootlegger drops 809 vertical feet over 2,053 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 31° about 1,010 feet below the top. That's steeper than 97% of the 5,615 blue runs we've measured in North America, and the 29th steepest of 69 named runs at Silver Mountain. It faces northeast.
Facing northeast at an average 24°, Bootlegger gets about 64% of the winter sun that flat ground at Silver Mountain does, December through March. That's shadier than 79% of the runs we've measured, and the 26th shadiest named run at Silver Mountain. Its top sits at 5,730 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.
