Double black Silver Mountain, ID
The North Face Glades drops 713 vertical feet over 1,628 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 37° about 540 feet below the top. That's steeper than 52% of the 2,251 double black runs we've measured in North America, and the 8th steepest of 69 named runs at Silver Mountain. It faces northwest.
Facing northwest at an average 27°, The North Face Glades 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 15th shadiest named run at Silver Mountain. Its top sits at 6,240 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.
