Double black Silver Mountain, ID
Shady Lady drops 948 vertical feet over 2,170 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 40° about 1,520 feet below the top. That's steeper than 68% of the 2,251 double black runs we've measured in North America, and the 1st steepest of 69 named runs at Silver Mountain. It faces northwest.
Facing northwest at an average 27°, Shady Lady gets about 50% of the winter sun that flat ground at Silver Mountain does, December through March. That's shadier than 93% of the runs we've measured, and the 13th shadiest named run at Silver Mountain. Its top sits at 5,880 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.
