Blue Heavenly, CA
Silver Spur drops 51 vertical feet over 797 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 10° about 200 feet below the top. That's steeper than 3% of the 5,615 blue runs we've measured in North America, and the 123rd steepest of 124 named runs at Heavenly. It faces east.
Facing east at an average 4°, Silver Spur gets about 104% of the winter sun that flat ground at Heavenly does, December through March. That's sunnier than 76% of the runs we've measured, and the 21st sunniest named run at Heavenly. Its top sits at 9,290 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.
