Double black Sun Valley, ID
Fire Trail drops 1,179 vertical feet over 4,497 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 33° about 300 feet below the top. That's steeper than 35% of the 2,251 double black runs we've measured in North America, and the 9th steepest of 99 named runs at Sun Valley. It faces northeast.
Facing northeast at an average 16°, Fire Trail gets about 65% of the winter sun that flat ground at Sun Valley does, December through March. That's shadier than 79% of the runs we've measured, and the 54th shadiest named run at Sun Valley. Its top sits at 8,660 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.
