Black diamond Castle Mountain, BC
TamShow drops 292 vertical feet over 592 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 42° about 160 feet below the top. That's steeper than 97% of the 4,740 black diamond runs we've measured in North America, and the 8th steepest of 140 named runs at Castle Mountain. It faces north.
Facing north at an average 30°, TamShow gets about 31% of the winter sun that flat ground at Castle Mountain does, December through March. That's shadier than 99% of the runs we've measured, and the shadiest named run at Castle Mountain. Its top sits at 6,780 feet.
Shaded snow stays colder and drier, so it holds powder longer after a storm and is slower to crust over or turn to slush in spring. Shading from ridges and trees isn't counted yet.
