Blue Hemlock Resort, BC
Mainline drops 552 vertical feet over 2,497 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 23° about 400 feet below the top. That's steeper than 59% of the 5,615 blue runs we've measured in North America, and the 26th steepest of 34 named runs at Hemlock Resort. It faces east.
Facing east at an average 13°, Mainline gets about 106% of the winter sun that flat ground at Hemlock Resort does, December through March. That's sunnier than 77% of the runs we've measured, and the 29th sunniest named run at Hemlock Resort. Its top sits at 3,760 feet.
Angled toward the low winter sun, it bakes: powder turns heavy soon after a storm, and in spring it softens early in the day and refreezes hard overnight. Shading from ridges and trees isn't counted yet.
