Blue Soldier Mountain, ID
Monument drops 364 vertical feet over 1,707 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 24° about 1,560 feet below the top. That's steeper than 74% of the 5,615 blue runs we've measured in North America, and the 25th steepest of 41 named runs at Soldier Mountain. It faces south.
Facing south at an average 13°, Monument gets about 135% of the winter sun that flat ground at Soldier Mountain does, December through March. That's sunnier than 94% of the runs we've measured, and the 2nd sunniest named run at Soldier Mountain. Its top sits at 6,940 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.
