Black diamond Silver Mountain, ID
Sunset drops 692 vertical feet over 2,297 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 37° about 870 feet below the top. That's steeper than 91% of the 4,740 black diamond runs we've measured in North America, and the 7th steepest of 69 named runs at Silver Mountain. It faces northwest.
Facing northwest at an average 18°, Sunset gets about 74% of the winter sun that flat ground at Silver Mountain does, December through March. That's shadier than 64% of the runs we've measured, and the 47th shadiest named run at Silver Mountain. Its top sits at 6,200 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.
