Blue Silver Mountain, ID
Sunrise drops 1,030 vertical feet over 6,052 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 24° about 1,980 feet below the top. That's steeper than 73% of the 5,615 blue runs we've measured in North America, and the 50th steepest of 69 named runs at Silver Mountain. It faces east.
Facing east at an average 10°, Sunrise gets about 91% of the winter sun that flat ground at Silver Mountain does, December through March. That's sunnier than 61% of the runs we've measured, and the 14th sunniest named run at Silver Mountain. Its top sits at 6,230 feet.
With little slope to hide behind, it takes nearly the full winter sun of open ground: powder settles and turns heavy sooner after a storm, and spring snow softens early. Shading from ridges and trees isn't counted yet.
