Black diamond Tamarack, ID
South Of The Border drops 703 vertical feet over 2,681 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 31° about 1,790 feet below the top. That's steeper than 67% of the 4,740 black diamond runs we've measured in North America, and the 13th steepest of 70 named runs at Tamarack. It faces east.
Facing east at an average 16°, South Of The Border gets about 92% of the winter sun that flat ground at Tamarack does, December through March. That's sunnier than 63% of the runs we've measured, and the 55th sunniest named run at Tamarack. Its top sits at 7,570 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.
