Blue Tamarack, ID
Upper Serenity drops 924 vertical feet over 4,941 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 25° about 1,020 feet below the top. That's steeper than 75% of the 5,615 blue runs we've measured in North America, and the 43rd steepest of 70 named runs at Tamarack. It faces east.
Facing east at an average 11°, Upper Serenity 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 7,640 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.
