Black diamond Hemlock Resort, BC
Pete's Pass drops 616 vertical feet over 1,864 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 33° about 230 feet below the top. That's steeper than 78% of the 4,740 black diamond runs we've measured in North America, and the 12th steepest of 34 named runs at Hemlock Resort. It faces east.
Facing east at an average 20°, Pete's Pass gets about 117% of the winter sun that flat ground at Hemlock Resort does, December through March. That's sunnier than 85% of the runs we've measured, and the 23rd sunniest named run at Hemlock Resort. Its top sits at 4,100 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.
