Black diamond Hemlock Resort, BC
Heaven drops 697 vertical feet over 2,574 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 33° about 1,110 feet below the top. That's steeper than 73% of the 4,740 black diamond runs we've measured in North America, and the 13th steepest of 34 named runs at Hemlock Resort. It faces northeast.
Facing northeast at an average 16°, Heaven gets about 71% of the winter sun that flat ground at Hemlock Resort does, December through March. That's shadier than 70% of the runs we've measured, and the 3rd shadiest named run at Hemlock Resort. Its top sits at 3,940 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.
