Green Silver Mountain, ID
Home James drops 135 vertical feet over 2,988 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 5° about 1,270 feet below the top. That's steeper than 3% of the 3,109 green runs we've measured in North America, and the 69th steepest of 69 named runs at Silver Mountain. It faces northeast.
Facing northeast at an average 3°, Home James gets about 72% of the winter sun that flat ground at Silver Mountain does, December through March. That's shadier than 69% of the runs we've measured, and the 41st shadiest named run at Silver Mountain. Its top sits at 5,000 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.
