Black diamond Sun Valley, ID
Kaitlyn's Bowl drops 907 vertical feet over 2,016 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 31° about 700 feet below the top. That's steeper than 64% of the 4,740 black diamond runs we've measured in North America, and the 22nd steepest of 99 named runs at Sun Valley. It faces east.
Facing east at an average 27°, Kaitlyn's Bowl gets about 91% of the winter sun that flat ground at Sun Valley does, December through March. That's sunnier than 61% of the runs we've measured, and the 24th sunniest named run at Sun Valley. Its top sits at 8,930 feet.
With little slope to hide behind, it takes nearly the full winter sun of open ground: powder settles and turns heavy sooner after a storm, and spring snow softens early. Shading from ridges and trees isn't counted yet.
