Black diamond Soldier Mountain, ID
The Glades drops 411 vertical feet over 1,504 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 28° about 1,120 feet below the top. That's steeper than 46% of the 4,740 black diamond runs we've measured in North America, and the 10th steepest of 41 named runs at Soldier Mountain. It faces north.
Facing north at an average 16°, The Glades gets about 58% of the winter sun that flat ground at Soldier Mountain does, December through March. That's shadier than 86% of the runs we've measured, and the 4th shadiest named run at Soldier Mountain. Its top sits at 6,740 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.
