Blue Silver Mountain, ID
LowerPaymaster drops 394 vertical feet over 853 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 35° about 510 feet below the top. That's steeper than 99% of the 5,615 blue runs we've measured in North America, and the 11th steepest of 69 named runs at Silver Mountain. It faces northwest.
Facing northwest at an average 28°, LowerPaymaster gets about 74% of the winter sun that flat ground at Silver Mountain does, December through March. That's shadier than 65% of the runs we've measured, and the 45th shadiest named run at Silver Mountain. Its top sits at 4,910 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.
