Blue Silver Mountain, ID
Saddleback drops 644 vertical feet over 1,755 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 31° about 640 feet below the top. That's steeper than 98% of the 5,615 blue runs we've measured in North America, and the 27th steepest of 69 named runs at Silver Mountain. It faces northwest.
Facing northwest at an average 22°, Saddleback gets about 70% of the winter sun that flat ground at Silver Mountain does, December through March. That's shadier than 71% of the runs we've measured, and the 36th shadiest named run at Silver Mountain. Its top sits at 5,520 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.
