Black diamond Soldier Mountain, ID
Fritz drops 461 vertical feet over 1,514 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 27° about 700 feet below the top. That's steeper than 34% of the 4,740 black diamond runs we've measured in North America, and the 18th steepest of 41 named runs at Soldier Mountain. It faces east.
Facing east at an average 18°, Fritz gets about 108% of the winter sun that flat ground at Soldier Mountain does, December through March. That's sunnier than 78% of the runs we've measured, and the 12th sunniest named run at Soldier Mountain. Its top sits at 7,160 feet.
Angled toward the low winter sun, it bakes: powder turns heavy soon after a storm, and in spring it softens early in the day and refreezes hard overnight. Shading from ridges and trees isn't counted yet.
