Black diamond Fernie, BC
Alpha Centauri drops 384 vertical feet over 962 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 30° about 440 feet below the top. That's steeper than 56% of the 4,740 black diamond runs we've measured in North America, and the 80th steepest of 119 named runs at Fernie. It faces east.
Facing east at an average 24°, Alpha Centauri gets about 103% of the winter sun that flat ground at Fernie does, December through March. That's sunnier than 74% of the runs we've measured, and the 35th sunniest named run at Fernie. Its top sits at 5,870 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.
