Blue Tamarack, ID
Upper Showtime drops 1,001 vertical feet over 4,808 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 29° about 2,750 feet below the top. That's steeper than 95% of the 5,615 blue runs we've measured in North America, and the 22nd steepest of 70 named runs at Tamarack. It faces east.
Facing east at an average 12°, Upper Showtime gets about 99% of the winter sun that flat ground at Tamarack does, December through March. That's sunnier than 70% of the runs we've measured, and the 47th 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.
