Blue Soldier Mountain, ID
Upper Tuck drops 287 vertical feet over 2,127 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 12° about 10 feet below the top. That's steeper than 6% of the 5,615 blue runs we've measured in North America, and the 39th steepest of 41 named runs at Soldier Mountain. It faces north.
Facing north at an average 8°, Upper Tuck gets about 65% of the winter sun that flat ground at Soldier Mountain does, December through March. That's shadier than 79% of the runs we've measured, and the 9th shadiest named run at Soldier Mountain. Its top sits at 6,970 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.
