Black diamond Soldier Mountain, ID
Dave's Dream drops 258 vertical feet over 680 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 29° about 450 feet below the top. That's steeper than 51% of the 4,740 black diamond runs we've measured in North America, and the 6th steepest of 41 named runs at Soldier Mountain. It faces northeast.
Facing northeast at an average 23°, Dave's Dream gets about 57% of the winter sun that flat ground at Soldier Mountain does, December through March. That's shadier than 87% of the runs we've measured, and the 2nd shadiest named run at Soldier 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.
