Blue Tamarack, ID
Canoe Ridge drops 121 vertical feet over 2,687 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 6° about 610 feet below the top. That's steeper than 1% of the 5,615 blue runs we've measured in North America, and the 70th steepest of 70 named runs at Tamarack. It faces northwest.
Facing northwest at an average 3°, Canoe Ridge gets about 93% of the winter sun that flat ground at Tamarack does, December through March. That's sunnier than 64% of the runs we've measured, and the 54th sunniest named run at Tamarack. Its top sits at 7,640 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.
