Double black Silver Mountain, ID
Moonshine drops 633 vertical feet over 1,273 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 39° about 690 feet below the top. That's steeper than 67% of the 2,251 double black runs we've measured in North America, and the 2nd steepest of 69 named runs at Silver Mountain. It faces northeast.
Facing northeast at an average 30°, Moonshine gets about 67% of the winter sun that flat ground at Silver Mountain does, December through March. That's shadier than 76% of the runs we've measured, and the 33rd shadiest named run at Silver Mountain. Its top sits at 5,550 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.
